GARBAGE MANAGEMENT PLAN GMP-02-00
Ver: 1, Rev: 00
Garbage Management Date: 01-FEB-23
2.1 GENERAL
To achieve cost-effective and environmentally sound results, garbage
management system shall use a combination of different complementary
techniques to manage garbage. These techniques are
i. Reduction at source;
ii. recycling;
iii. Storage; and
iv. disposal.
The ship's garbage is made up of distinct components, some of which are
addressed in MARPOL 73/78, whilst others may be addressed locally,
nationally or regionally, e.g. domestic, operational, cargo-associated, food and
maintenance wastes. Each component should be evaluated separately to
determine the best waste management practice for that waste.
Ver: 1, Rev: 00
Garbage Management Date: 01-FEB-23
deck and external surface washwater and cargo residues which are not
considered to be harmful to the marine environment is permitted.
ii. Careful planning and proper execution by crew members is required for
obtaining the goals of the plan. The most appropriate procedures for
handling and storing garbage on ship will vary depending on factors
such as type and size the area of operation, shipboard garbage
equipment and storage, under hygienic conditions, space, crew size,
duration of voyage, and regulations and facilities at ports of call.
iii. Compliance with regulations and the principle of environment
protection require that the garbage generated on board should be
managed in specific steps and in a given sequence as described below:
a. Collection and sorting of garbage by types.
b. Processing.
c. Storing.
d. Discharge at Port Reception Facilities or disposal at sea according
to regulations of Annex V.
iv. Correct planning of the above procedures for handling and storing
shipboard garbage, will result in reduction of storage space
requirements and proper and easy transfer to Port Reception Facilities.
iii. It is noted again that oily materials shall be disposed in accordance with
regulations of Annex I (Oil). Deck and Engine Departments may be
provided with empty paint cans or barrels for garbage collection in
appropriate spaces throughout the ship, but always these receptacles
Prepared By: DPA Page 2 of 8 Approved By: MD
shall be fitted with a tight cover. All garbage receptacles should be
secured to prevent loss, spillage, or loss of any garbage that is deposited
in the receptacles. All types of garbage collection receptacles shall be
clearly marked with the type of garbage they are receiving. Crew
responsibilities should be assigned for collecting or emptying these
receptacles and taking the garbage to the appropriate processing or
storage location.
2.3.2 Processing
Vessels equipped with incinerators, compactors, comminuters or other devices
for shipboard garbage processing must assign the appropriate crew members
responsible for operating this equipment on a schedule commensurate with
ship needs. In selecting appropriate processing procedures, the following
should be considered:
i. Use of compactors, incinerators, comminuters, and other such devices
have a number of advantages such as, reducing shipboard space
requirements for storing garbage and making it easier to discharge
garbage at port reception facilities. It should be noted that special rules
on incineration under domestic law may apply in some ports and may
exist in some special areas. Incineration of hazardous materials (e.g.
scraped paint, impregnated wood) and certain types of plastics (e.g.
PVC- based plastics or other plastics containing hazardous chemicals)
calls for special precaution due to the potential environmental and
health effects from combustion of by-products.
ii. Ships operating primarily in “special areas”, Arctic waters or within 3
nautical miles from the nearest land, ice-shelf or fast ice are greatly
restricted in what they can discharge. These ships should choose
between storage of either compacted or uncompact material for
discharging at port reception facilities or incineration with retention of
ash and clinkers. This is the most restrictive situation in that no
discharge is permitted.
2.3.3 Storage
i. The garbage shall be stored in the designated location(s) as per the
discretion of the master.
ii. Sufficient storage space shall be provided for each category of waste and
checked by the designated Garbage Management Personnel.
iii. Chief Officer must ensure that there is no built up of gas from the waste
in the storage area.
iv. All processed and unprocessed garbage should be in tight, securely
covered containers.
v. Food wastes and other garbage to be returned to same port and which
may carry diseases or pests should be stored in tightly covered
containers and be kept separate from garbage which does not contain
such food wastes. Quarantine arrangements in some countries may
require double bagging of this type of waste. Both types of garbage
should be stored in separate clearly marked containers to avoid
incorrect discharge and facilitate proper handling and treatment on
land.
Ver: 1, Rev: 00
Garbage Management Date: 01-FEB-23
vi. For the primary storage of small amounts of garbage near the place of
waste generation, a sufficient number of appropriate size containers,
made of non-flammable material, should be provided.
vii. Secondary garbage containers made of non-flammable material each
garbage category shall be provided on or around the ships after upper
deck (minimum capacity of 200 ltrs) for each garbage category taking
into account the ship’s duration of voyage, total number of personnel on
board etc.
viii. Any receptacles on deck areas, poop decks or areas exposed to the
weather should be secured to prevent loss, spillage, or loss of any
garbage that is deposited in the receptacles.
ix. Receptacles should be clearly marked and distinguishable by graphics
shape, size, or location. Receptacles should be placed in appropriate
spaces throughout the ship (e.g. the engine-room, mess deck, hospital,
galley, and other living or working spaces) and all crew members and
supernumeries, visitors/ passengers should be advised of what garbage
should and should not be placed in them.
x. Crew responsibilities should be assigned for collecting or emptying
these receptacles and taking the garbage to the appropriate processing
or storage location in compliance with the GMP-02-03 A (Collection
Receptacle Location and Crew Duties). The capacity of available storage
for each category of garbage must be identified and stenciled at the
garbage station.
xi. The GMP-02-03 A should be made ship specific and available garbage
storage capacity should be inserted and posted.
xii. Oily rags generated on deck and in engine room in routine operation
shall be stored at designated place within engine room for incineration
as soon as practical. They must not be left unattended or accumulated
for a long period of time.
xiii. Cargo Oily rags on tankers for disposal should be stored in Metal
Container with a lid on poop deck properly secured from weather.
2.3.3 Discharge
Although discharge into the sea of limited types of garbage is permitted under
Annex V, discharge of garbage to port reception facilities should be given
primary consideration.
i. A reduction in the amount of shipboard space required for storing
garbage should be carried out either by compacting or commuting,
whereby the volume of garbage is substantially reduced, or by
incineration, which reduces the volume significantly to be done in
accordance with the rules and regulations.
ii. The garbage shall be processed according to the machinery instructions
unless stored for disposal to port facility. Operating instruction of the
machinery should be posted near the machinery for quick reference and
proper operation.
iii. The particulars of the processing equipments, capacity, and category of
garbage it will process, location and person responsible should be
documented in compliance with the GMP-02-03 B (Garbage Handling
Equipment).

Discharge of all garbage into the sea is prohibited except provided otherwise
The MARPOL Convention and domestic law prohibit the discharge of most garbage from ships. Only the following
garbage types are allowed to be discharged and under the specified conditions.
Outside special areas designated under MARPOL Annex V and Arctic waters:
Comminuted or ground food wastes (capable of passing through a screen with openings no larger than 25
mm) may be discharged not less than 3 nm from the nearest land.
Other food wastes may be discharged not less than 12 nm from the nearest land.
Cargo residues classified as not harmful to the marine environment may be discharged not less than 12
nm from the nearest land.
Cleaning agents or additives in cargo hold, deck and external surfaces washing water may be discharged
only if they are not harmful to the marine environment.
With the exception of discharging cleaning agents or additives that are not harmful to the marine
environment and are contained in washing water, the ship must be en route and as far as practicable from
the nearest land.
Within special areas designated under MARPOL Annex V and Arctic waters
More stringent discharge requirements apply for the discharges of food wastes and cargo residues; AND
Consult MARPOL Annex V, chapter 5 of part II-A of the Polar Code and the shipboard garbage
management plan for details.
For all areas of the sea, ships carrying specialized cargoes such as live animals or solid bulk cargoes should
consult Annex V and the associated Guidelines for the implementation of Annex V.
Discharge of any type of garbage must be entered in the Garbage Record Book Violation of these
requirements may result in penalties.

4.1 GENERA
The vessels which are installed with the IMO type approved incinerators may
incinerate plastics.
4.4 PRECAUTION
i. Incinerators shall be provided with a manufacturer’s operating manual
which is to be retained with the unit and which shall specify how to
operate the incinerator. The combustion chamber gas outlet temperature
shall be monitored at all times the unit is in operation. Where that
incinerator is of the continuous- feed type, waste shall not be fed into
the unit when the combustion chamber gas outlet temperature is below
850°C. Where that incinerator is of the batch- loaded type, the unit shall
be designed so that the combustion chamber gas outlet temperature
shall reach 600°C within five minutes after start- up and will thereafter
stabilize at a temperature not less than 850°C.
ii. Improper procedure of incinerating plastic may lead clogging of the

Ver: 1, Rev: 00
Plastic Incineration Date: 01-FEB-23
4.5 HAZARDS
i. The risk assessment for burning plastic should be made and discussed
with all of the engine staff.
ii. The following points, not limited to, should be given due consideration
while making Risk Assessment.
a. The incineration should be done under supervision of the duty
engineer.
b. Plastic not to be incinerated together with other wastes, in order to
keep the clinker away from ashes of paper, oily rags or other
combustibles, so that the clinker can be collected solely and landed
with the shore reception facilities.
c. The incineration of the plastic MUST be done with oil burner
incineration.
d. For good combustion and inhibition of toxic gases high temperature
inside the furnace should be maintained during plastic incineration.
e. Burning of plastic may lead to excessive high temperature within the
incinerator; which can damage the furnace fire brick and may lead
to high repair cost. It may be required to decrease the oil burning
rate to prevent the overheating during simultaneous burning of
plastic and oil main burner. A close watch on incinerator
temperature should be maintained during the plastic incineration.
f. The maximum amount of plastic that can be incinerated in one time
(refer to the attachment - fleet Incinerator details). Any exceeding
amount of plastic may lead to excessive black smoke and damage to
furnace brick damage.
g. The limitation imposed by the incinerator (high temperature
restriction), if any.
h. The possible exposure of hot gas, toxic gas, flame when opening the
incinerator door if proper procedure for plastic incineration (in
compliance with the instructions manual) is not followed. Some
incinerators have interlocking and locking devices for safe charging.
The incinerator should be charged when ‘chargeable’ light is on or
incinerator is stopped. Any bypassing of the safety feature or
tampering of unlocking device may lead to exposure of toxic gas /
hot gas.
iii. Master and Chief Engineer should inform the company should they have
any concerns w.r.t to the operation of the incinerator and or damage to
the furnace fire brick.
