COMPREHENSIVE MANUAL ON PORT RECEPTION FACILITIES (1999 edition) MARPOL requires Governments to ensure the provision of adequate port reception facilities for ship generated waste. The Manual provides guidance on the provision of such facilities and will help overcome the long-standing problem of implementing this part of the Convention. It provides a complete overview of the subject, including sections on law, planning and operations. The 1999 edition includes an entirely new chapter on financing and cost recovery (chapter 11) as well as editorial and other changes (for example, inclusion of the new Annex VI of MARPOL 73/78) in the other chapters). It updates and supersedes IMO texts on port reception facilities for oily wastes, sewage and garbage. Sales number: IMO – 598E
