What is Marine Pollution ?

The United Nations Group of Experts on

the Scientific Aspects of Marine Pollution have defined Marine Pollution as :
“The introduction by man, directly or indirectly, of substances to the marine environment that result in deleterious effects to the environment"
these include :-
Hazards to human health
Hindrance of marine activities, including fishing
Impairment of the quality for the use of seawater
Reduction of amenities.

Record keeping

The Master must ensure that samples of all discharges of

cargo or fuel from the vessels systems, or if noticed in adjacent waters to the ship, are taken and preserved in a suitable container on board the vessel.

A Chain of Custody document must be completed for the entire sampling and transport process
