SUBSTANCES CARRIED BY SEA IN PACKAGED FORMS OR IN FREIGHT

CONTAINERS, PORTABLE TANKS OR ROAD AND RAIL TANK WAGONS

Regulation 1

APPLICATION

1. Unless expressly provided otherwise, the Regulations of

this Annex apply to all ships carrying harmful substances in

packaged forms, or in freight containers, portable tanks or

road and rail tank wagons.

2. Such carriage of harmful substances is prohibited except

in accordance with the provisions of this Annex.

3. To supplement the provisions of this Annex the Government

of each Party to the Convention shall issue, or cause to be

issued, detailed requirements on packaging, marking and

labelling, documentation, stowage, quantity limitations,

exceptions and notification, for preventing or minimizing

pollution of the marine environment by harmful substances.

4. For the purpose of this Annex, empty receptacles, freight

containers, portable tanks and road and rail tank wagons

which have been used previously for the carriage of harmful

substances shall themselves be treated as harmful substances

unless adequate precautions have been taken to ensure that

they contain no residue that is hazardous to the marine

environment.

Regulation 2

PACKAGING

Packagings, freight containers, portable tanks and road and

rail tank wagons shall be adequate to minimize the hazard to

the marine environment having regard to their specific

contents.

Regulation 3

MARKING AND LABELLING

Packages, whether shipped individually or in units or in

freight containers, portable tanks or road and rail tank

wagons containing a harmful substance, shall be durably

marked with the correct technical name (trade names shall not

be used as the correct technical name), and further marked

with a distinctive label or stencil of label, indicating that

the contents are harmful. Such identification shall be

supplemented where possible by any other means, for example

by the use of the United Nations number.

Regulation 4

DOCUMENTATION

1. In all documents relating to the carriage of harmful

substances by sea where such substances are named, the

correct technical name of the substances shall be used (trade

names shall not be used).

2. The shipping documents supplied by the shipper shall

include a certificate or declaration that the shipment

offered for carriage is properly packed, marked and labelled

and in proper condition for carriage to minimize the hazard

to the marine environment.

3. Each ship carrying harmful substances shall have a special

list or manifest setting forth the harmful substances on

board and the location thereof. A detailed stowage plan which

sets out the location of all harmful substances on board may

be used in place of such special list or manifest. Copies of

such documents shall also be retained on shore by the owner

of the ship or his representative until the harmful

substances are unloaded.

4. In a case where the ship carries a special list or

manifest or a detailed stowage plan, required for the

carriage of dangerous goods by the International Convention

for the Safety of Life at Sea in force, the documents

required for the purpose of this Annex may be combined with

those for dangerous goods. Where documents are combined, a

clear distinction shall be made between dangerous goods and

other harmful substances.

Regulation 5

STOWAGE

Harmful substances shall be both properly stowed and secured

so as to minimize the hazards to the marine environment

without impairing the safety of ship and persons on board.

Regulation 6

QUANTITY LIMITATIONS

Certain harmful substances which are very hazardous to the

marine environment may, for sound scientific and technical

reasons, need to be prohibited for carriage or be limited as

to the quantity which may be carried aboard any one ship. In

limiting the quantity due consideration shall be given to

size, construction and equipment of the ship as well as the

packaging and the inherent nature of the substance.

Regulation 7

EXCEPTIONS

1. Discharge by jettisoning of harmful substances carried in

packaged forms, freight containers, portable tanks or road

and rail tank wagons shall be prohibtied except where

necessary for the purpose of securing the safety of the ship

or saving life at sea.

2. Subject to the provisions of the present Convention,

appropriate measures based on the physical, chemical and

biological properties of harmful substances shall be taken to

regulate the washing of leakages overboard provided that

compliance with such measures would not impair the safety of

the ship and persons on board.

Regulation 8

NOTIFICATION

With respect of certain harmful substances, as may be

designated by the Government of a Party to the Convention,

the master or owner of the ship or his representative shall

notify the appropriate port authority of the intent to load

or unload such substances at least 24 hours prior to such

action.
