* applies to all new ships contracted for construction on or after January 1, 2007
(its tests results are noted on the ISPPC and the effluent does not produce visible floating
solids nor cause discoloration of the surrounding water)
Note: Certificate shall cease if the relevant surveys are not completed,
if the certificate is not endorsed, upon transfer of the ship to the flag
of another State.
Remarks:
Some ports (particularly members of the Paris MOU) now require advance warning
of waste to be disposed of. The waste includes oil, chemicals, ballast, sewage
and garbage.
The method of reporting this is to send Company form to the agents prior to
arrival. Note that this form may be required even if no waste is to be landed. The local
agent is to be asked to confirm accordingly.
