SHIP WASTE MANAGEMENT OPTIMIZATION

This course is designed to facilitate garbage management on board the vessel and to ensure compliance with pollution prevention regulations by the shore-based ship management staff, Masters and Officers and anyone involved in the environmental management and operation of vessels. Garbage management remains a critical area for ship operators due to the increased concern of coastal states about marine pollution, the lack of reception facilities in many ports around the world, the existence of national requirements for the management of some special waste streams and the difficulties encountered by crews when trying to properly manage garbage on their ships.

The course provides advice on best available options for garbage management aimed at achieving a higher level of protection for the environment and lays down principles that should be applied once waste is generated to prevent risks to human health.

The course covers the most important aspects of the regulations including the new categorization of ship-generated garbage, the roles of officers and crew members and the obligations for recordkeeping. It also explains ways to identify and manage waste streams that might be hazardous for the crew and those requiring segregation and special handling prior to their disposal.
