What MARPOL Annex V - Prevention of Pollution by Garbage from Ships requires

MARPOL 73/78 Annex V prohibits the discharge of all garbage into the sea (plastics, food waste, domestic wastes, cooking oil, incinerator ash, operational waste, cargo residues, and fishing gear) with limited exceptions for food waste beyond 12 nm and cargo residues that cannot be recovered by port reception facilities beyond 12 nm outside Special Areas. The 2013 revised Annex V (in force 1 January 2013) fundamentally reversed the original 1988 Annex V's permissive approach: the default rule is now total prohibition, with exceptions strictly enumerated.
