IA597E – book: Manual on Port Reception Facilities, 1999 Edition

MARPOL 73/78 requires Governments to ensure the provision of adequate port reception facilities for ship-generated waste. First published in 1995, the Comprehensive Manual on Port Reception Facilities provides guidance on the provision of such facilities and will help overcome the long-standing problem of implementing this part of the Convention.

The Manual provides a complete overview of the subject, including sections on law, planning and operations. It updates and supersedes the following IMO texts on port reception facilities:
– Guidelines on the provision of adequate reception facilities in ports, part I – Oily wastes (1976);
– Guidelines on the provision of adequate reception facilities in ports, parts III – Sewage – and IV – Garbage (1978);
– Guidelines for the implementation of Annex V of MARPOL 73/78, section 6 – Port reception facilities for garbage.
