Clean ships, clean ports, clean oceans : controlling garbage and plastic wastes at sea. — Washington, D.C. : Washington Academy Press, 1995

XXI, 355 p. ; 24 cm

The international maritime community has taken steps to restrict garbage discharged overboard from vessels to curb environmental harm. The fundamental restrictions were laid out by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in Annex V of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (1973) and its 1978 Protocol, together known as MARPOL 73/78. MARPOL Annex V bans all overboard disposal of plastics and limits other discharges based on the form of the material and the vessel's location and distance from shore. The regulated garbage includes solid wastes genrated during normal operations at sea
