Delivery of ship-generated wasteU.K.
12.—(1) Subject to paragraph (2), the master of a ship calling at a harbour or terminal shall ensure that before the ship leaves the harbour or terminal all ship-generated waste is delivered to a waste reception facility.
(2) Subject to paragraph (3), a ship may proceed to the next port of call without delivering ship-generated waste if it follows from the information notified under regulation 11(2) or (3) that there is sufficient dedicated storage capacity for all the ship-generated waste that has been accumulated and will be accumulated during the intended voyage of the ship to the port of delivery.
(3) Where—
(a)the Secretary of State is not satisfied that there is sufficient dedicated storage capacity for all ship-generated waste that has been accumulated and which will accumulate during the intended voyage of a ship to the port of delivery,
(b)there are good reasons to believe that adequate facilities are not available at the intended port of delivery, or
(c)the intended port of delivery is not known to the Secretary of State,
he may give a direction to the master or owner of the ship requiring the ship-generated waste to be delivered before the ship leaves the harbour or terminal.
