Abstract

This Directive aims to protect the marine environment against the negative effects from discharges of waste from ships using ports located in the European Union, while ensuring the smooth operation of maritime traffic, by improving the availability and use of adequate port reception facilities and the delivery of waste to those facilities. The application scope includes : (a) all ships, irrespective of their flag, calling at, or operating within, a port of a Member State, with the exception of ships engaged in port services, with the exception of any warship, naval auxiliary or other ship owned or operated by a State and used, for the time being, only on a government non-commercial basis; (b) all ports of the Member States normally visited by ships. Member States shall take measures to ensure that, where reasonably possible, ships which do not fall within the scope of this Directive deliver their waste in a manner consistent with this Directive.
