Gestion des matières résiduelles

Monitoring of regulations

2.1 Give ship's staff proper training on established user procedures and the waste management hierarchy (collect, sorting, reduce, reuse, recycle, recovery, disposal, or any suitable alternative having for objectives to reduce generated waste and/or waste environmental impact).
Note: Training to be at least in accordance with MEPC.295(71) sections 4.7 and 4.8.

2.2 Implement an environmentally sustainable purchasing policy favoring suppliers that use less packaging.

2.3 Encourage best practices to reduce the use of non-reusable supplies for all types of products.
Note: This reduction goal is already a legal obligation for single-use plastic products according to Directive 2019/904 on the reduction of the impact of certain plastic products on the environment.
Note: Biodegradable supplies could be considered if there is no other possibility.

2.4 No shipboard incineration at port.

2.5 Encourage best practices to reduce wasted food on board.

2.6 Implement on-board segregation of waste in accordance with the Resolution MEPC.295(71) and ensure delivery to adequate port reception facilities that comply with Article 4(2)(d) of Directive (EU) 2019/883. Ensure that all of the company's ships are equipped with recycling bins.
Note: Ports outside EU may not apply Port Reception Facilities Directive.

Applicable only to vessels carrying cargoes, not in bulk and performing regularly consecutive voyages:
2.7 Reuse as much as possible dunnage, lining and packaging material.

3.1. Produce an annual inventory of different types of garbage generated in the company's entire fleet and indicate the company's actual garbage management practices.

Note: Garbage types refer to the categories defined in MARPOL Annex V, but each company can include additional categories.

3.2. Adopt and implement a management plan towards zero single-use plastic on board (if there is a suitable alternative)

Note: See Annex 5-B for a list of the single-use plastic items to avoid.

Note: Bioplastics are not considered suitable alternatives, as they are not biodegradable.

3.3 Adopt and implement a management plan that provides in-house training and raises awareness for crew and ground personnel on waste prevention to facilitate waste reduction, collect, sorting, reuse, possible recycling, and avoid wasted food.
Note: Training to be at least in accordance with MEPC.295(71), sections 4.7 and 4.8.

Passenger vessels only:

3.4. Implement an awareness campaign for passengers on waste prevention to facilitate waste reduction, reuse, possible recycling, avoiding wasted food.

Note: This awareness campaign is already a legal obligation for single-use plastic products according to Directive 2019/904 on the reduction of the impact of certain plastic products on the environment.

Container ships only:

3.5 Adopt and implement a specific weather routing policy to avoid adverse weather conditions and subsequent potential container loss at sea.

4.1. Develop and implement a garbage management strategy with defined targets and specific measures to reduce garbage and wasted food, increase recycling, and ultimately target zero discharge at sea.

Note: See Annex 5-A

4.2 & 4.3 are optional for 2024 and 2025:

Fulfill one the following two criteria:

4.2 Based on bills, purchase orders, contracts or any others means, draft an annual inventory that include a yearly plastic ship operational life inventory counting virgin, recycled and biobased plastics, that are used by the company on board of their vessels, in order to progressively reduce plastic waste.

The list should not mandatory be exhaustive but must help shipowners identify where the company does use plastics.

Note: See annex 5-C for more information on plastic materials and criteria objectives.

OR

4.3 Estimate onboard the tonnage of the main plastic use sources, counting virgin, recycled and biobased plastics, related to the ship operational life e. g. packaging, microplastics in chemicals, furniture, etc. The list should not mandatory be exhaustive but must help shipowners identify where the company does use plastics.

Note: See annex 5-C for more information on plastic materials and criteria objectives.

Ships using Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems (EGCS) only:

4.4 Discharge waste generated by EGCS ashore via service providers approved by the local port authority.

Container ships only:

4.5 Facilitate transparent, online public quarterly reporting of containers lost at sea. Reporting should include information on the vessel, its voyage, the location of the loss, and the total number of containers lost.

5.1. Demonstrate continual improvement by achieving targets defined in the garbage management strategy.

Note: See annex 5-C for more information on plastic materials.

New criterion - Optional for 2024 and 2025:
5.2 The management strategy (5.1) must include a progressive deplastification pathway based on the plastic ship operational life inventory established in 4.2

Note: See annex 5-C for more information on plastic materials and criteria objectives.

5.3 From January 1st, 2022, EGCS should be used only in closed-loop mode:

• for all new building vessels ordered after January 1st, 2022 (date of contract) with an EGCS
• for vessels retrofitted after this date (date of retrofitting contract) with an EGCS.

Container ships only:

5.4 In the quarterly public report from criterion 4.3, disclose whether containers lost at sea contained dangerous goods (as per the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) code) or plastic pellets.

AND

5.5 Actively participate in workshops and/or research focused on the avoidance of container loss at sea, including topics such as: lashing improvement, container loss detection systems, etc.).
