Garbage management on board ships is a daily reality for every vessel and an area that inspectors check very closely. Under MARPOL Annex V, the discharge of garbage is strictly controlled, and the requirements continue to change over time.
That’s why it’s important for every seafarer to:
Follow the latest rules (they are updated regularly).
Keep an up-to-date Garbage Management Plan (GMP) and Garbage Record Book (GRB) on board.
Always use correct placards in galley and work areas.
Record all discharges properly and keep evidence (e.g., receipts from port reception facilities).
⚠️ Remember: plastics cannot be discharged anywhere, at any time.
Need correct paperwork in port?
During a busy port call, there’s no time to prepare forms from scratch.
That’s why our team at Master Work Station created a Quick Form for Discharged Waste – simple to fill in, easy to print, and accepted by port authorities.
