1. This plan describes policy and procedures for handling this
vessel's garbage according to MARPOL Annex V and 33 CFR Subparts
151.51 through 151.77. As Captain, I am responsible for carrying
out this plan. All crewmembers and embarked persons shall follow
the instructions in this plan. It is the general policy of this
vessel that all food waste and
garbage will be retained on board for proper disposal ashore.
2. Waste for this vessel is collected from all trash containers and stored in the aft locker.
When moored, all waste will be carried
from the vessel and disposed of in approved trash receptacles. Plastics and waste containing
plastic materials will never be discharged into the water from
this vessel regardless of location.
3. When sailing on inland waters or at sea within 12 nautical
miles of land, no food, garbage or waste of any type will be discharged.
When on an extended voyage, beyond 12 nautical miles from land,
certain non-plastic and non-floating waste may be discharged if
storage space is not available. In this case, all plastics (including
foamed plastic) are to be
segregated from other wastes and stored on board for proper disposal
ashore. Only those materials permitted for discharge according
to the MARPOL Annex V placard may be discharged in the water.
In no case will waste of any kind be discharged into the water
without my prior inspection and explicit permission.
4. If you have any questions about this plan, waste handling procedures or materials that may be discharged, please consult me.
