    Mediterranean Sea to become MARPOL Special Area


    By the adoption of Resolution MEPC.172(57), the International Maritime Organization
    (IMO) has notified that the Mediterranean Sea will become a Special Area under MARPOL
    Annex V from 1 May 2009.

    The same resolution also encourages member states and industry organisations to comply immediately on a
    voluntary basis with the Special Area requirements.

    MARPOL Annex V deals with ship generated garbage, including dry cargo residues and hold washing water.

    It will be recalled that BIMCO has raised the issue of problems with dry cargo residues and related hold
    washing water within Special Areas in IMO, seeking a clarification. A correspondence group looking at the
    problem will report to the next MEPC meeting in October 2008.

    BIMCO owner members operating bulk carriers, in particular, are encouraged to inform their Masters and
    charterers of this newly adopted resolution and the encouragement to immediate voluntary compliance.
