The UK P&I Club issued a bulleting informing that some vessels which after long voyages, have either no explanation of what they have done with their garbage over the last 3 months or with their stores filled with decomposing garbage.
As part of the clubs proactive approach to risk management, Risk Assessors regularly visit vessels entered in the club in different parts of the world. Apart from the knowledge exchange, the ship visits also allow the club to understand the concerns of the crew sailing onboard the vessels.
One of the issues noted has been the effect of the changes to MARPOL Annex V regulations on garbage disposal on ship operations. These changes place the need on ship staff to make more regular disposal of garbage to shore facilities, to avoid accumulation onboard.
It was noted in Singapore, that masters often were not aware of the disposal process or were reluctant to land garbage, as they were under the impression that no receipt would be provided by the garbage boat.
The MPA Singapore has recently launched a system by which vessel masters or ship agents can arrange free disposal of limited garbage, or pay for greater quantity of disposal by making an online registration in the local ‘Portnet’ system.
