2 Procedure

2.1 Ballast Water

Every ship should have a ship-specific BWMP on board, if not: report to the company and preliminary use the below Model BWMP updated with your ships details/plans!

Use CM-0601 for recording events which are relevant to ballast management, and which will be of interest of quarantine officers, such as sediment removal during drydocking, or tank flushing at sea. Each entry should be completed with the signature, name and rank of the officer making the entry.

Use CM-0602 for recording ballasting and de-ballasting.

Use CM-0603 for reporting to port authorities.

2.2 Garbage

There are new disposal regulations (MEPC 201(62)) from 2013-01-01!

Main changes:

Some ports are using their own forms for discharge notifications. An "advance waste notification" is included in the M-0404 Port Clearance Creator.
Follow the instructions in the ship specific GMP which is available in this SMS.
