This manual provides practical information to governments and Port Authorities, 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 a party State must ensure the provision of adequate port reception facilities to meet the needs of ships using their ports, without causing undue delay to the ships.
The manual has been prepared bearing in mind that action will be required at different government and port operation levels, and the role of each entity may be different. It also recognizes that in some parts of the world there will be bilateral or multilateral arrangements that relate to the provision of port reception facilities and waste management.
