IB597E - Port Reception Facilities - How to do it
Edizione 2016
This Manual provides practical information to Governments and competent (port) authorities, in
particular those in developing countries, as well as the shipping industry, agencies and waste contractors
seeking guidance when implementing MARPOL.
It also provides guidance on how to deal with possible inadequacies, as, in order to comply fully with
MARPOL, a party State has to ensure the provision of adequate port reception facilities meeting the
needs of ships using their ports, without causing undue delay to the ships.
