Working together for a safer world North American Environmental Protection Association Fast Forward into the Future of Maritime - February 18, 2015 Port Waste Reception Ginger Garte, Americas Environmental Manager

Summary – Port Reception Facility Adequacy - A lot of work has been done and progress made - Significant gaps exist - Tools need to be increasingly effective Goal - Environmentally sound disposal of garbage + BMP for Environmentally Sound Management of ships waste Aboard and Ashore + “Cradle-to-Cradle” management of ships’ waste; + ReThink, Reduce, Re-use and Recycle

MARPOL Annex V – Prevention of Pollution by Ship Garbage IMO’s Marine Environment Protection Committee MEPC began meeting in 1973 shortly after IMO adopted the Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships or MARPOL. One important regulation in MARPOL for ports: “the Government of each Party is to ensure the provision for reception of ship ‐ generated residues”

MARPOL Annex V discharge standards – January 1, 2013 All Oceans are a “no discharge zone” with limited exceptions: Food wastes if - comminuted or ground (25 mm screen) beyond 3nm or - non comminuted beyond 12nm Dry Cargo Residues if not harmful to marine environment (HME) and in small quantities Cleaning agents in washing water; the ship must be en route.

MARPOL imposes one important obligation to the Government of each Party, To provide PRF for ship-generated residues and garbage that cannot be discharged into the sea PRF must be adequate to meet the needs of ships using the port, Without causing undue delay to ships Incentivize ships use of PRF to comply with MARPOL and to minimize discharges to sea. (Disposal of ships waste to take place in an environmentally appropriate way) Sustaining ocean health and productivity requires responsible use and stewardship by all users. IMO MARPOL Annex V Prevention of pollution from ships garbage

Port Reception Facility Tools PRFD convey current global PRF information, PRFD to be user friendly; PRFD populated w/ all available PRF PRFD by port/Country; waste category International Organization for Standardization ISO Standards Promoting Environmentally Sound Management of Ship’s Waste: Shipboard Waste Management Port Reception Facility Planning and Operation *Guide to Good Practice on PRF found on GISIS website: Global Integrated Shipping Information System (GISIS) Port Reception Facility Database (PRFD)

PRFD Gaps Member states not consistently updating “the Government of each Party is to ensure the provision for reception of ship ‐ generated residues” = challenge for certain wastes/residuals and regional approach does not bridge this challenge in developing nations Alleged Inadequate PRF submissions to MEPC from Port States are not representative of global fleet Transparency of PRFD process does not protect reporter or provide beneficial PRF progress inadequacies

Port Reception Facility key points to tackling adequacy delay Without causing delay to ships = know market share and break down by ships type/frequency for planning Adequate Adequate to meet the needs of the ships = capability to manage generated waste streams Port to ensure adequate facilities = tanks/barges/trucks to manage quantities; wastes landed Does not provide mariners with a disincentive to use them = reasonable cost or inclusive Contributes to the improvement of the marine environment = “allow for the ultimate disposal of ships’ wastes to take place in an environmentally appropriate way.”

PRF understood responsibility: Port/terminal operators PRFs meet international, national & local waste handling permit requirements for environmental & public health and waste are managed so that wastes and residues removed from ships cannot readily enter the water Common discharges: solid waste, oily wastes, sewage, paint related wastes, recyclables Challenging waste streams: EGCS wash water, BW, gray water, electronics, hazardous wastes, economizer wash water, international garbage, NLS, ODS, cargo residuals

Management of Wastes at PRF ISO Key to communicate best practices & facilitate tours of port/vendors/ship Know or request international, national and local regulations for waste streams Waste Management Planning SHIP – PORT – VENDOR stakeholder engagement Waste segregation/sorting stations Storage transfer options Waste minimizing options Waste handling equipment (age) Recycling options $$ Treatment technologies

Technology Management - Shipboard Wastes ISO Shipboard and Shoreside Equipment/Technology Awareness Compactors Crushers Balers Comminuters Pulpers Shredders / Grinders / Pellitizers Plasma Arc / Gasification / Incinerators Waste to Energy Waste segregation systems Fluorescent lamp crushers Drum / Pail compactors Electronics/battery recycling / charging stations Fuel and Exhaust Scrubbers

Future PRF process mapping Environmental risk and impact understood Best management practices technology knowledge shared New technology and waste stream processing shore side/shipboard communicated Lean supply chain practices offer efficiencies/savings and waste minimization $$$
