What MARPOL Annex II - Regulations for the Control of Pollution by Noxious Liquid Substances in Bulk requires
MARPOL Annex II regulates the discharge into the sea of noxious liquid substances (NLS) carried in bulk by ships. It entered into force on 6 April 1987 under the MARPOL Protocol 1978 and was substantially revised by IMO Resolution MEPC.118(52) in 2004 (entering into force 1 January 2007). The revised Annex II classifies NLS into four categories (X, Y, Z, and OS/Other Substances) based on hazard to the marine environment, replaces the former A/B/C/D categories, and sets minimum conditions for discharge including dilution requirements, cargo pump stripping efficiencies, prewashing requirements, and port reception facility use. Chemical tankers carrying NLS in bulk are also subject to the IBC Code for design and construction.
