Applicability of MARPOL Annex IV

In accordance with the ‘Decree Prevention of Pollution by Ships’ (Besluit voorkoming verontreiniging door schepen) article 5, sub 4 and the ‘Regulation Prevention of Pollution by Ships’ (Regeling voorkoming verontreiniging door schepen) article 5f, MARPOL Annex IV is applicable to all ships.

With regard to MARPOL regulation IV/2, the NSI does not consider MARPOL Annex IV applicable to unmanned pontoons (less or more than 400 GT).

With regard to MARPOL regulation IV/9, the NSI:

prohibits the use of a sounding rod as a means to indicate visually the amount of the contents of a holding tank for the retention of sewage;
accepts, for ships of less than 400 gross tonnage, a high level alarm as a means to indicate visually the amount of the contents of a holding tank for the retention of sewage;
requires the capacity of a holding tank and the capacity of a sewage treatment plant to be calculated taking into account the volume of sewage per person on board per day, as set out in table 1; and
requires the capacity of the holding tank to be sufficient for at least three days, unless there are circumstances justifying a lower capacity requiring a well-founded proposal to be submitted by the shipowner, through / via the ROs branch office in the Netherlands, to the NSI and the permission from the NSI thereof.
