Guide to Good Practice for Port Reception Facility Providers and Users – Apr 01, 2010

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) recently adopted the Guide to Good Practice for Port Reception Facility Providers and Users.  The Guide is intended to be a practical users’ guide for ships’ crews who seek to deliver MARPOL residues/wastes ashore and for port reception facility providers who seek to provide timely and efficient port reception services to ships. 

The English version of the Guide was disseminated to the REMPEC Prevention Focal Points in July 2009 and uploaded on the REMPEC's website. The French version of the Guide is now also available and both versions can be found in the Information Resources section of the website.
