a) Procedures conducted for the reception of ship-generated waste.

b) Availability of reception facilities.

c) Final destination or treatment in the ports’ hinterland.

Initial stages for designing a Pilot Plan for the implementation of Annex V of the MARPOL Convention.

The Importance and Impact of Cruise Ship Tourism: PRF

A study sponsored by the USCG estimated the quantities of waste produced by ships is comparable to the amount of municipal waste produced at port cities in the region.

Tourism growth in the Caribbean

Increased contamination to marine and terrestrial environments.

Involving Garbage Untreated Sewage Air Pollution From Vessels

Economic Activity Waste Increases

Areas of Synergy CIP and IMO - MARPOL

1) Increase Transparency

Promote technical exchanges and

reporting of alleged inadequacies through

IMO databases and procedures

OAS/CIPCooperation

Agreement with IMO

2) Capacity-Building

Establish common certification procedures

U.S. Coast Guard Certification of

Adequacy (COA) Program

3) Promote ISO Standards

U.S. Coast Guard Study recommends creating a Regional

Collection System to assist small island ports handle ship-generated waste.

ISO 16304 Part I &II

CIP-US Coast Guard Proposal:‘Green’ Port Reception Facilities

Common focus on:

(1) Administrative and legal matters

(2) Technology Exchanges

(3) Infrastructure and support services

A Green and Modernized Port Reception Facility (PRF) shared by ports/terminals to manage ship generated waste, and cargo residues in the Americas.

Authorized vendors can directly remove

recycling and incinerated waste from

ships to dispose of them at approved shore side

facilities.

A model PRF may serve as a successful practice promoting the exchange of experiences and strengthening hemispheric cooperation.
