Steered by Excellence  Introduction to MARPOL What is MARPOL? MARPOL stands for the Marine Pollution Convention, adopted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in 1973. Main objective: To minimize pollution of the seas, including dumping, oil and air pollution from ships. Propelled by Passion ! Steered by Excellence  Structure of MARPOL Annexes of MARPOL Annex I: Regulations for the Prevention of Pollution by Oil. Annex II: Control of Pollution by Noxious Liquid Substances in Bulk. Annex III: Prevention of Pollution by Harmful Substances Carried by Sea in Packaged Form. Annex IV: Pollution by Sewage from Ships. Annex V: Pollution by Garbage from Ships. Annex VI: Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships (amended to include greenhouse gas emissions). Propelled by Passion ! Steered by Excellence  Latest Edition Updates New Amendments Greenhouse Gas Emissions (Annex VI): Stricter measures to reduce GHG emissions from ships. Ballast Water Management: Stricter regulations on ballast water discharge standards. Plastic Waste Restrictions: Expansion of prohibitions on plastic waste discharge from ships. Sulfur Cap: Enforcement of the global 0.5% sulfur limit on marine fuel. Propelled by Passion !
