Adequacy of Facilities

• Without causing delay to ships
• Adequate to meet the needs of the ships using
  them
• The obligation to provide adequate facilities
  covers all ports, terminals, harbours and marinas
  visited by commercial shipping and other types of
  vessels. The effort made by the port to ensure
  the provision of adequate facilities should be
  commensurate with the quantities and variety of
  wastes to be delivered ashore.

COMPREHENSIVE MANUAL ON PORT RECEPTION
FACILITIES (1999 edition)

• MARPOL requires Governments to ensure the
  provision of adequate port reception facilities
  for ship generated waste.
• The Manual provides guidance on the provision of
  such facilities and will help overcome the
  long-standing problem of implementing this part
  of the Convention.
• It provides a complete overview of the subject,
  including sections on law, planning and
  operations.
• The 1999 edition includes an entirely new chapter
  on financing and cost recovery (chapter 11) as
  well as editorial and other changes (for example,
  inclusion of the new Annex VI of MARPOL 73/78) in
  the other chapters). It updates and supersedes
  IMO texts on port reception facilities for oily
  wastes, sewage and garbage.
