Annex V

Annex V is a part of European regulations that sets guidelines for the proper management and disposal of ship waste, including garbage, sewage, and other materials. Its goal is to protect the marine environment by preventing pollution from ships. It specifies what waste can be discharged into the sea, where and how it should be disposed of, and proper record-keeping to ensure compliance. Essentially, Annex V helps ships operate responsibly by reducing their environmental impact and promoting sustainable practices at sea.
