Create you own waste management plan to comply with the regulation for vessel over 40 feet. WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN
S/V MY BOATON: 1234567
1. This plan describes policy and procedures for handling this vessel's garbage according to MARPOL Annex V and 33 CFR Subparts 151.51 through 151.77. As Captain, I am responsible for carrying out this plan. All crewmembers and embarked persons shall follow the instructions in this plan. It is the general policy of this vessel that all food waste and garbage will be retained on board for proper disposal ashore. 2. Waste for this vessel is collected and stowed on board in trash receptacles for the duration of the voyage. When moored at the end of a voyage, all waste will be carried from the vessel and disposed of in proper shore side receptacles. Plastics and waste containing plastic materials will never be discharged into the water from this vessel regardless of location. 3. When operating on inland waters or at sea within 12 nautical miles of land, no food, garbage or waste of any type will be discharged overboard. When on an extended voyage, beyond 12 nautical miles from land, certain non-plastic and non-floating waste may be discharged if storage space is not available. In this case, all plastics (including foamed plastic) are to be segregated from other wastes and stored on board for proper disposal ashore. Only those materials permitted for discharge according to the MARPOL Annex V placard may be discharged in the water. In no case will waste of any kind be discharged into the water without my prior inspection and explicit permission. 4. The master is in charge of ensuring compliance with this waste management plan. If you have any questions about this plan, waste handling procedures or materials that may be discharged, please consult me.
