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).
