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

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.

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.

5.0 COLLECTION, STORAGE, AND DISPOSAL PROCEDURE
5.1 General
5.1a As per Regulation 4 of Annex V, the discharge of garbage from MODUs, as well as all other ships when alongside or within 500 meters of the MODU (fixed or floating platform), is prohibited. Food that is ground to a size smaller than 25 millimeters (1 square inch), as long as the MODU is located 12 nautical miles away from land and not in a special area is an exception.
5.1b With this in mind, all waste except for ground food as stated above, will be transported to shore for disposal. Transportation to shore and disposal of waste while the MODU is on location is the responsibility of the Client. All processed and unprocessed garbage which must be stored for any length of time shall be in tight, securely covered, and clearly labeled bags.
5.1c Food waste and associated garbage items which are returned to port and which may carry the threat of disease or pests should be kept separate from garbage which does not contain any food waste. Both types of garbage should be in separate, clearly marked bags to avoid incorrect disposal and treatment.
5.1d When in port or at a shipyard for repair, all waste will be shipped and disposed ashore.
5.1e The collection of garbage is to be considered a continuous process. Collection begins with generation. All personnel are to contribute to the collection process by properly placing garbage in garbage receptacles. Placing garbage in any other location than designated garbage receptacles is unacceptable behavior for anyone on board.
5.2 Waste Collection, Storage, and Disposal
5.2a Domestic, drilling-related, and maintenance wastes that can be compacted in plastic bags are to be placed in sealed, labeled bags for transport to shore. Garbage shall be stored in such a manner so as to avoid health and safety hazards.
Page 8 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
5.2b Cooking grease is collected in labeled drums/container and stored in a noncombustible storage area that is protected from the weather. Waste cooking grease is transported to shore to be recycled or disposed according to local regulations.
5.2c Domestic waste is to be collected in clearly labeled, plastic containers located throughout the quarters. Waste collected in these containers shall be transferred to the labeled bags for transport to shore. The garbage will be compacted by compactor to reduce the volume.
5.2d Food waste is to be collected in labeled plastic containers located in the galley and mess areas, then transferred into plastic or steel drums or plastic bags designed especially for transporting. Alternatively, food waste may be disposed by grinding in compliance with Annex V, Regulation 4.
5.2e Metal cans are cleaned and placed with metal waste for recycling. Cans may be compacted. Metal cans are to be stored with other metal waste and sent to shore for recycling.
5.2f Metal is to be placed in a scrap metal storage area and sent to shore for recycling.
5.2g Empty sacks containing Drilling Mud Additives from the mud mixing room are retained in a designated storage area until transported to shore. Mud chemical sacks must be empty of chemicals. Once transported to shore, drilling mud sacks are disposed of by the operator in compliance with local regulations.
5.2h Grease/pipe dope is to be collected in clearly labeled drums/containers and stored in a manner that is free from moisture. Containers, grease, or pipe dope are transported to shore for recycling as per local regulations.
5.2i Packing material and packages, such as paper boxes, sacks, plastic packages and packing material are placed in polypropylene shipping bags and are stored until sent to shore for disposal according to local regulations. The material can be compacted to reduce the volume.
5.2j Oily rags and used gloves are collected in a separate bag, stored, and transported to shore in labeled bags for disposal as per local regulation.

GARBAGE MANAGEMENT PLAN ABAN ICE Approved By: A. Gray
5.2k Medical waste that may be contaminated with body fluids, including bandages, dressings, and rags used to clean up the spillage of body fluids, are stored in a designated medical waste bag. Needles, syringes, and other medical scraps are to be placed in a puncture-resistant, leak-proof medical waste container for storage. Medical waste is to be clearly identified as hazardous material on the manifest and transported to shore to be disposed of at an approved medical waste disposal facility.
5.2l Plastic waste is stored with either operational or domestic waste and sent to shore for disposal as per local regulations.
5.3 Garbage shall be segregated as per the six categories mentioned in the Garbage Record Book when sent ashore.
5.4 Receptacles for each special category of waste shall be provided in appropriate storage spaces throughout the MODU and clearly marked, stored, and handled in compliance with this plan and the Aban environmental management system. Roustabouts, seaman, drill crew, and Floormen under direction are assigned to collecting and emptying these receptacles and taking the garbage or receptacles to the appropriate processing or storage location.
5.5 Processing
5.5a The Aban Ice is equipped with a garbage compactor on the Main Deck.
5.5b Compactors make garbage easier to store.
5.5c A food waste disposer shall be used to grind food waste to a particle size capable of passing through a screen with openings not larger than 25 millimeters. Such a process is recommended even beyond 12 nautical miles due to the particle size hastening assimilation into the marine environment.
5.6 Food grinders and trash compactors shall be maintained as a part of the ship’s Preventive Maintenance System (PMS). Operation of this equipment shall be in accordance with the operating instructions provided by the manufacturer of the equipment.
