New Marpol rules sort out the trash

摘要

As noted in last month's Regulation Insight, Marpol will be affected by a number of amendments in January 2013. The revisions to Annex V (Regulations for the Prevention of Pollution by Garbage from Ships) are extensive. They amend every regulation and the appendix, also adding a new regulation (3), renumbering all those regulations that follow. This is carried out through a complete replacement of Annex V.
