These Regulations revoke and replace with amendments the Merchant Shipping (Port Waste Reception Facilities) Regulations 1997, and give effect to Directive 2000/59/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (O.J. L 332, 28.12.2000, p.81), as amended by Directive 2002/84/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (O.J. L 324, 29.11.2002, p.53). In addition to minor amendments, the significant differences are in the inclusion of (i) a duty to deliver waste to reception facilities in the harbour or terminal, (ii) a requirement to notify the harbour or terminal in advance of a ship’s arrival, and (iii) a duty for harbour authorities and terminal operators to impose charges to cover the costs of waste reception facilities for ship-generated waste.
