Garbage record Book Pt 1

Every ship of 400gt and above, and every ship certified to carry 15 persons or more engaged in voyages to ports or offshore terminals must carry and maintain a Garbage Record Book.

This requirement also applies to Fixed and Floating platforms, FSUs (Floating Storage Unit) and FPSOs (Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessel); but exemptions may be granted where the platform etc holds documents equivalent to a Garbage Record Book.

In the UK this also means small sea going passenger vessels under 24m and inland waters passenger vessels that do not go ‘to sea’.
