Gray 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The intent of this document is to provide Aban Ice personnel with information on the requirements for complying with applicable regulations of MARPOL 73/78, Annex V and all other subsequent resolutions, and Regulations for the Prevention of Pollution by Garbage from Ships. Compliance with the provisions of Annex V requires the careful planning by the Aban Ice designated Man in Charge (MIC) of the drill ship and proper execution and coordination by onboard personnel. This document provides guidelines for drill ship personnel to comply with Annex V and for associated equipment usage onboard. 1.2 This Garbage Management Plan (GMP) is a roadmap to minimizing our footprint on the environment through waste generation. It provides methods to be utilized in waste source reduction, recycling of waste, and proper disposal of waste as well as the means to measure and monitor waste generation. 1.3 The responsibility shared by all persons to do their part in protecting the environment against unnecessary degradation is a responsibility Aban recognizes and embraces. Responsibility for waste management is clearly defined within this GMP. Personal responsibility should be a primary motivating factor in behavior on board. 1.4 This GMP and the associated Record of Garbage Discharges provide objective evidence of compliance with international and local legislation concerning the prevention of pollution by garbage generated by this mobile offshore drilling unit (MODU). 2.0 REGULATORY REQUIREMENT 2.1 International pollution prevention regulatory requirements are stated in MARPOL 73/78. This GMP addresses Annex V only. It is important that those persons designated as focal points for waste management be thoroughly familiar with international requirements. For purposes of reference, the nine regulations of Annex V are as follows. 2.1a Regulation 1: Definitions 2.1b Regulation 2: Application [of Annex V] 2.1c Regulation 3: Disposal of garbage outside special areas Page 3 of 23 Section: GMP Ice ABAN ICE Revision No.: 1 GARBAGE MANAGEMENT PLAN Issued Date: 30 January 2015 GARBAGE MANAGEMENT PLAN ABAN ICE Approved By: A. Gray 2.1d Regulation 4: Special requirements for disposal of garbage 2.1e Regulation 5: Disposal of garbage within special areas 2.1f Regulation 6: Exceptions 2.1g Regulation 7: Reception facilities 2.1h Regulation 8: Port State control on operational requirements 2.1i Regulation 9: Placards, garbage management plans and garbage recordkeeping 2.2 Of particular note in Regulation 9(2) which reads as follows: “Every ship of 400 tons gross tonnage and above, and every ship which is certified to carry 15 persons or more shall carry a garbage management plan which the crew shall follow. This plan shall provide written procedures for collecting, storing, processing and disposing of garbage, including the use of the equipment on board. It shall also designate the person in charge of carrying out the plan. Such a plan shall be in accordance with the guidelines developed by the organization [International Maritime Organization (IMO)] and written in the working language of the crew.” 2.3 Coastal state legislation concerning waste management must be observed. The shore-based Rig Manager shall provide the information necessary to comply. 2.4 The coastal state ensures that facilities for the reception of waste are available at ports and terminals. Facilities deemed acceptable by the coastal state are used by Aban. 3.0 PREVENTION AND REDUCTION OF POLLUTION FROM GARBAGE 3.1 Source Reduction 3.1a Drill ship’s garbage is made up of distinct components, some of which are addressed in MARPOL 73/78, while others may be addressed locally, nationally or regionally, e.g., domestic, operational, unit stores- associated, food and maintenance wastes. Each component should be Page 4 of 23 Section: GMP Ice ABAN ICE Revision No.: 1 GARBAGE MANAGEMENT PLAN Issued Date: 30 January 2015 GARBAGE MANAGEMENT PLAN ABAN ICE Approved By: A. Gray evaluated separately to determine the best waste management practice for that waste. 3.1b A good start towards achieving company waste reduction goals can be reached by implementing the following practices. 3.1b1 When ordering stores and provisions, encourage suppliers to apply the substitution principle in order to reduce, to the greatest extent and at an early stage, the generation of garbage on board. 3.1b2 Purchase materials in bulk: utilize marine bags for sand and use portable tanks in place of drums whenever possible. In addition, do not over-purchase products for projects. Make arrangements with the vendor to pick up any products that are not used. 3.1b3 Review purchasing practices to determine if alternative commodities that generate less waste can be obtained. Also, whenever economically and technologically practical, purchase products manufactured from recycled materials. 3.1b4 Request that vendors reduce over-packaging. 3.1b5 Where practical options exist, provisions packaged in or made of materials other than disposable plastic should be selected to replenish ship’s supplies unless a reusable plastic alternative is available. 3.1b6 Stowage systems and methods that reuse coverings, dunnage, shoring, lining, and packing materials 3.1b7 Use reusable containers for delivery of groceries instead of boxes. 3.1b8 Use refillable food containers (i.e., ketchup bottles) 3.1b9 Utilize reusable plastic/ceramic dishes and cups when possible. Disposable cups, utensils, dishes, towels and rags, and other convenience items should be limited and replaced by washable items whenever possible. Page 5 of 23 Section: GMP Ice ABAN ICE Revision No.: 1 GARBAGE MANAGEMENT PLAN Issued Date: 30 January 2015 GARBAGE MANAGEMENT PLAN ABAN ICE Approved By: A. Gray 3.2 Recycling The world is rapidly running out of landfill space for waste and once considered unlimited raw materials are becoming scarce. In addition, the manufacture of some substances such as Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) for air conditioning, refrigeration, and fire fighting are being discontinued. There are many products that can be recycled. 3.3 Disposal Although disposal offshore is possible if consistent with Annex V, discharge of garbage to port reception facilities should be given first priority. Disposal of waste is to be done in compliance with local, state, as well as international rules and regulations. When disposing of garbage, the following points should be considered. 3.3a Garbage should be compacted to reduce volume and minimize the chances of waste blowing overboard, floating on the water, and possibly reaching shore. 3.3b Maintenance wastes contaminated with substances such as oil or toxic chemicals are in some cases controlled under other annexes or other pollution control laws. In such cases, the more stringent disposal requirements always take precedence. 4.0 DESIGNATED PERSONS FOR PLAN IMPLEMENTATION AND MAINTENANCE 4.1 Man in Charge (MIC) The designated MIC of the GMP shall be the Master of Aban Ice. The Master shall be responsible for implementing the procedures as mentioned in this plan. The Master shall be assisted by onboard staff to ensure that collection, separation and processing, storing and disposal of garbage are MARPOL73/78, Annex V compliant and efficient in all areas of rig and the procedures aboard are carried out in accordance with this plan.

Gray 4.2 Departmental Staff Assistance 4.2a The Chief Officer is responsible for managing garbage generated by the marine, and deck departments. The Chief Officer shall determine the types, sizes, numbers, and placement of trash receptacles in areas such as welder’s area, decks, lifting gear stores, and paint lockers. The Chief Officer will hold members of the marine crews accountable for compliance with the GMP. 4.2b The Camp Boss/Chief Steward is responsible for collection, storage, and disposal of domestic waste. Catering staff are responsible to support the Camp Boss in collection of domestic waste generated in the galley and accommodation. The Camp Boss/Chief Steward shall determine the types, sizes, numbers, and placement of trash receptacles in areas such as cabins, galley, mess, and recreation rooms. 4.2c The Chief Engineer/Chief Mechanic is responsible for managing garbage generated by maintenance & drilling equipment departments. The Chief Engineer shall determine the types, size, numbers and placement of trash receptacles in areas such engine room, mechanical workshop and machinery spaces. 4.2d The Toolpusher/ Driller is responsible for collection, storage, and disposal of operational waste generated from drilling operations and maintenance of drilling equipment.

  • Improving the Competitiveness of Green Ship Recycling
    Improving the Competitiveness of Green Ship Recycling Kanu Priya Jain Propositions accompanying the thesis Improving the Competitiveness of Green Ship Recycling from Kanu Priya Jain Sep 8, 2017 Delft University of Technology 1. The availability of a downstream market for second-hand goods is essential for a ship recycling yard to become competitive. (This thesis) 2. The lack of co-ordination between the stakeholders of the ship recycling industry is detrimental to cost-effective green ship recycling. (This thesis) 3. A ship cannot be called ‘futuristic’ until it is designed in such a way that it can also be recycled easily. 4. The more efficient and reliable the transportation system is, the more traumatic a deficiency will be for commuters. 5. The global climate will be better-off without UN climate change conferences. 6. Cooking is like a Chemistry experiment, quantity of each ingredient has a major influence on the end result. 7. Social media is a catalyst for exhibitionism, narcissism and depressions. 8. Assumptions are the most effective tool for a successful research. 9. The greatest hurdle to finish a thesis on time is procrastination. 10. Other than the traditional news media, daily commuting is the best way to be aware of local events. These propositions are regarded as opposable and defendable, and have been approved as such by the promotor prof. ir. J.J. Hopman and copromotor dr. ir. J.F.J. Pruyn.

Congress requires that this disposal be completed by the end of fiscal year 2006. Approximately seventy (70) of these aging hulks are moored at the James River Reserve Fleet (“JRRF”) in Virginia. When MARAD proposed to conduct tandem tows to move 13 of these ships to a shipbreaker in Teesside, United Kingdom in the fall of 2003, plaintiffs Basel Action Network (“BAN”) and The Sierra Club filed this action, with a request for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction, on the grounds that the export of the vessels would violate several federal environmental laws. On October 2, 2003, this Court issued a temporary restraining order (“TRO” with respect to Case 1:03-cv-02000-RMC Document 69 Filed 03/02/05 Page 2 of 34 nine of the thirteen ships, finding that MARAD had not completed an environmental assessment or an environmental impact statement.
