Reception facilities under
Annex I of MARPOL 73/78
• Reception facilities outside special areas
• Reception facilities within special areas
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.

GISIS
Global Integrated Shipping Information System
GISIS is an online, web-based system
providing easy access for Member States to
provide and maintain data, together with
controlled access to the public of authorized
information, as previously agreed by Member
States.
Port Reception Facilities
The Port Reception Facility (PRF) module contains
information on the available port reception facilities for
the delivery of the ship-generated waste, as provided by
the competent authorities of the IMO Member States.
The PRF database has been set up with the following
objectives:
to disseminate the current information on port
reception facilities to the maritime community on a
global basis through the Internet;
to establish a web-based method for the regular
updating of the information; and
to facilitate user-friendly searches through the
database.
