Q:-With respect to AnnexV of Marpol explain the significance of following
Other similar discharges excluded from the purview of operational wastes
Other similar discharges
The definition of "operational wastes" (regulation 1.12 of MARPOL Annex V) excludes grey water, bilge water, or other similar discharges essential to the operation of a ship.
"Other similar discharges" essential to the operation of a ship include, but are not limited to the following:
-
/boiler blowdown;economiser -
engine wet exhaust;boat -
locker effluent;chain -
pitch propeller andcontrollable fluid and other oil to seathruster hydraulic -
(e.g.interfaces bearings,thruster , rudder bearings, etc.);stabilisers -
/reverse osmosis brine;distillation -
pit effluent;elevator -
firemain ;systems water -
lay-up;freshwater -
turbinegas ;washwater -
gasoline and compensating discharge;motor -
wastewater;machinery -
, spa water and recreational waters;pool -

discharges.welldeck
While cleaning agents and additives contained in hold washwater , and deck and external surface washwater are considered "operational wastes" and thus "garbage" under Annex V, these cleaning agents and additives may be discharged into the sea so long as they are not harmful to the marine environment.
