These categories help in maintaining proper records of garbage generation, storage, and disposal, ensuring compliance with regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Plastics:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Description: This category includes any garbage that consists of or includes plastic in any form, such as synthetic ropes, fishing nets, plastic bags, packaging materials, and even incinerator ashes from plastic products.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Discharge Regulations: <strong>Discharge of plastics into the sea is strictly prohibited.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Food Wastes:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Description: Encompasses all food substances, whether spoiled or unspoiled, generated during the normal operation of the ship.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Discharge Regulations:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Can be discharged at sea under specific conditions:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">More than 3 nautical miles from the nearest land<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Comminuted or ground to less than 25 mm particle size<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Discharged while the ship is en route and at a speed of more than 3 knots<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Domestic Wastes:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Description: Garbage generated in the accommodation spaces on board, including items like bottles, cans, paper, cardboard, and other household waste.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Discharge Regulations: <strong>Discharge of domestic wastes into the sea is strictly prohibited.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Cooking Oil:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Description: Includes edible oils and animal fats used for food preparation or cooking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Discharge Regulations: <strong>Discharge of cooking oil into the sea is strictly prohibited.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"5\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Incinerator Ashes:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Description: Ashes and clinkers resulting from the incineration of garbage onboard.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Discharge Regulations: <strong>Discharge of incinerator ashes into the sea is strictly prohibited.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"6\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Operational Wastes:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Description: Solid wastes (including slurries) generated during the normal maintenance or operation of the ship, such as cleaning materials, rags, filters, and used oil absorbents.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Discharge Regulations: <strong>Discharge of operational wastes into the sea is strictly prohibited.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"7\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Cargo Residues:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Description: Remnants or residues of cargo carried on board, such as solid bulk cargo residues, cleaning agents, and cargo-associated packaging materials.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Discharge Regulations: Discharge of cargo residues is subject to specific regulations depending on the type of cargo and its potential environmental impact.

It&#8217;s crucial for ship operators and crew members to understand these categories and their associated discharge restrictions to minimize their environmental impact and contribute to cleaner oceans.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"templates\/template-full-width.php","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-7459","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"featured_image_src":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/svestudy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7459","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/svestudy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/svestudy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/svestudy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/svestudy.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7459"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/svestudy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7459\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7832,"href":"https:\/\/svestudy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7459\/revisions\/7832"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/svestudy.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7459"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
