PROTOCOL OF 1978 RELATING TO THE INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION FOR THEREVENTION OF POLLUTION FROM SHIPS, 197

PROTOCOL OF 1978 RELATING TO THE INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION FOR THEREVENTION OF POLLUTION FROM SHIPS, 197 Whole document Regulation 1 Application 1 Unless expressly provided otherwise, the regulations of this Annex apply to all ships carrying harmful substances in packaged form.

1.1 For the purpose of this Annex, "harmful substances" are those substances which are identified as marine pollutants in the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG Code).* [* Reference is made to the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG Code) adopted by the Organization by resolution A. 81 (IV) as it has been or may be amended by the Maritime Safety Committee.] 1.2 Guidelines for the identification of harmful substances in packaged form are given in the appendix to this Annex.

1.3 For the purposes of this Annex, "packaged form" is defined as the forms of containment specified for harmful substances in the IMDG Code.

2 Such carriage of harmful substances is prohibited, except in accordance with the provisions of this Annex.

3 To supplement the provisions of this Annex, the Government of each Party to the Convention shall issue, or cause to be issued, detailed requirements on packing, marking, labelling, documentation, stowage, quantity limitations and exceptions for preventing or minimizing pollution of the marine environment by harmful substances.

4 For the purposes of this Annex, empty packaging which have been used previously for the carriage of harmful substances shall themselves be treated as harmful substances unless adequate precautions have been taken to ensure that they contain no residue that is harmful to the marine environment.

5 The requirements of this Annex do not apply to ship's stores and equipment.

Regulation 2 Packing Packages shall be adequate to minimize the hazard to the marine environment, having regard to their specific contents.

Regulation 3 Marking and labelling 1 Packages containing a harmful substance shall be durably marked with the correct technical name (trade names alone shall not be used) and, further, shall be durably marked or labelled to indicate that the substance is a marine pollutant. Such identification shall be supplemented where possible by any other means, for example, by use of the relevant United Nations number.

2 The method of marking the correct technical name and of affixing labels on packages containing a harmful substance shall be such that this information will still be identifiable on packages surviving at least three months' immersion in the sea. In considering suitable marking and labelling, account shall be taken of the durability of the materials used and of the surface of the package.

3 Packages containing small quantities of harmful substances may be exempted from the marking requirements. * [* Reference is made to the specific exemptions provided for in the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG Code).] Regulation 4 Documentation ** [** Reference to "documents" in this regulation does not preclude the use of electronic data processing (EDP) and electronic data interchange (EDI) transmission techniques as an aid to paper documentation.] 1 In all documents relating to the carriage of harmful substances by sea where such substances are named, the correct technical name of each such substance shall be used (trade names alone shall not be used) and the substance further identified by the addition of the words "MARINE POLLUTANT".

2 The shipping documents supplied by the shipper shall include, or be accompanied by, a signed certificate or declaration that the shipment offered for carriage is properly packaged and marked or labelled and in proper condition for carriage to minimize the hazard to the marine environment.

3 Each ship carrying harmful substances shall have a special list or manifest setting forth the harmful substances on board and the location thereof. A detailed stowage plan, which sets out the location of the harmful substances on board, may be used in place of such special list or manifest. Copies of such documents shall also be retained on shore by the owner of the ship or his representative until the harmful substances are unloaded. A copy of one of these documents shall be made available before departure to the person or organization designated by the port State authority.

4 When the ship carries a special list or manifest or a detailed stowage plan, required for the carriage of dangerous goods by the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974, as amended, the documents required by this regulation may be combined with those for dangerous goods. Where documents are combined, a clear distinction shall be made between dangerous goods and harmful substances covered by this Annex.

Regulation 5 Stowage Harmful substances shall be properly stowed and secured so as to minimize the hazards to the marine environment without impairing the safety of the ship and persons on board.

Regulation 6 Quantity limitations Certain harmful substances may, for sound scientific and technical reasons, need to be prohibited for carriage or be limited as to the quantity which may be carried aboard any one ship. In limiting the quantity, due consideration shall be given to size, construction and equipment of the ship, as well as the packaging and the inherent nature of the substances.

Regulation 7 Exceptions 1 Jettisoning of harmful substances carried in packaged form shall be prohibited, except where necessary for the purpose of securing the safety of the ship or saving life at sea.

2 Subject to the provisions of the present Convention, appropriate measures based on the physical, chemical and biological properties of harmful substances shall be taken to regulate the washing of leakages overboard, provided that compliance with such measures would not impair the safety of the ship and persons on board.

Appendix Guidelines for the identification of harmful substancesin packaged form For the purposes of this Annex, substances identified by any one of the following criteria are harmful substances: -bioaccumulated to a significant extent and known to produce a hazard to aquatic life or to human health (Hazard Rating "+" in column A*); or -bioaccumulated with attendant risk to aquatic organisms or to human health with a short retention of the order of one week or less (Hazard Rating "Z" in column A *); or -liable to produce tainting of seafood (Hazard Rating "T" in column A *); or [* Reference is made to the Composite List of Hazard Profiles prepared by the IMO/FAO/UNESCO/WMO/WHO/IAEA/UN/UNEP Joint Group of Experts on the Scientific Aspects of Marine Pollution (GESAMP), which is circulated annually by the Organization by means of BCH circulars to all IMO Member States.] -highly toxic to aquatic life, defined by a LC /96 hour ** less 5 than 1 ppm (Hazard Ra ting "4" in column B *).

[** The concentration of a substance which will, within the specified time (generally 96 hours), kill 50 per cent of the exposed group of test organs ms.

For oil tankers, Oil Record Book | | Part II shall also be provided to record relevant cargo/ballast operations. | |------------------------ Introduction The following pages of this section show a comprehensive list of items of machinery space operations which are, when appropriate, to be recorded in the Oil Record Book in accordance with regulation 20 of Annex I of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973, as modified by the Protocol of 1978 relating thereto (MARPOL 73/78). The items have been grouped into operational sections, each of which is denoted by a letter code.

When making entries in the Oil Record Book, the date, operational code and item number shall be inserted in the appropriate columns and the required particulars shall be recorded chronologically in the blank spaces.

Each completed operation shall be signed for and dated by the officer or officers in charge.

Each completed page shall be signed by the master of the ship.

The Oil Record Book contains many references to oil quantity. The limited accuracy of tank measurement devices, temperature variations and clingage will affect the accuracy of these readings. The entries in the Oil Record Book should be considered accordingly.

LIST OF ITEMS TO BE RECORDED (A) Ballasting or cleaning of oil fuel tanks 1. Identity of tank(s) ballasted.
