Abstract: | Baltic Marine Environment Protection Commission members seeking to implement MARPOL 73/78 Annex IV
amendments which recognize the Baltic Sea as special are, in which discharge of uncommitted sewage from passenger ships is
forbidden, must ensure that ports are equipped with adequate reception facilities. To ensure implementation of amendments of
Annex IV in port of Klaipeda, the analysis framework model was defined by authors. The model evaluates the readiness of the port
to changes brought by the amendments of MARPOL Annex IV. The scientific problem comes with perception of adequacy.
Resolution MEPC.200(62) amending MARPOL 73/78 Annex IV states, that port reception facilities must be adequate to the needs
of passenger ships using them without causing undue delay. Concept of adequacy is not defined, therefore other guidelines
explaining adequacy were used: EU directive 2000/59/EC and IMO resolution MEPC.83(44) Guidelines for ensuring adequacy of
port reception facilities. Based on these sources, criteria that must be met to ensure adequacy were identified and tested in article:
1) reception facilities meet needs of ships normally using them; 2) discharge of sewage does to cause undue delay; 3) reception
facilities does not provide disincentive to use them; 4) facilities are accessible; 5) facilities contribute to the improvement of the
marine environment. |
