T&R Bulletin 3-13: Guide for the Disposal of Shipboard Wastes (1962)

This Guide is concerned with pollution abatement of the ship as a whole as well as by its components. There are many aspects of design, equipment, and operation that although not commonly identified as pollution control devices or measures are nevertheless significant in the overall anti-pollution effort. Examples are the design and construction of the hull, navigational. aids, crew training and motivation, and opera­tional and maintenance procedures, and so forth. Not only the intact vessel should be considered (and the practical means to keep it intact) but also the damaged vessel where pollution is a major problem. In such circumstances, the wastes may be bunker fuel, lube oil, liquid, and other cargo.
