MARPOL
MARPOL CONVENTION
The MARPOL Convention is the main international convention that covers the prevention of pollution of the marine environment by ships due to operational or accidental causes. It is a combination of two treaties adopted in 1973 and 1978 respectively
and updated by amendments over the years.
The Convention includes regulations aimed at preventing and minimizing pollution caused by ships, both accidental pollution and that from routine operations, and currently contains six Technical Annexes.
MARPOL 73/78 Annex I
MARPOL 73/78 Annex V

We design the most modern waste collection barges in the world. Despite this, we continue to develop and improve MARPOL floating waste reception and treatment vessels.
