AnnexV of Marpol ,Dish Water, Grey water, recycling and reuse

Q:-With respect to AnnexV of Marpol explain the significance of following 

Dish Water, Grey water, recycling and reuse

ANSWER:-

a)The revised MARPOL Annex V with an entry into force date of 1 January 2013 prohibits the discharge of all types of garbage into the sea unless explicitly permitted under the Annex.

Dishwater means the residue from the manual or automatic washing of dishes and cooking utensils which have been pre-cleaned to the extent that any food particles adhering to them would not normally interfere with the operation of automatic dishwashers.

Grey water means drainage from dishwater, shower, laundry, bath and washbasin drains. It does not include drainage from toilets, urinals, hospitals, and animal spaces, as defined in regulation 1.3 of MARPOL Annex IV (sewage), and it does not include drainage from cargo spaces. Grey water is not considered garbage in the context of Annex V.

Recycling means the activity of segregating and recovering components and materials for       reprocessing. Recycling is the waste management technique which has the potential for the greatest measurable reduction in a ship’s garbage waste-stream.

Reuse means the activity of recovering components and materials for further use without      reprocessing.
