MARPOL Annex V compliant Garbage Management Plan for superyachts. A professional package with GMP template, companion guide, quick reference card, garbage record book, waste segregation guide, and laminate-ready crew placards in multiple sizes. Accepted by all major flag states.
The Garbage Management Plan (GMP) is a mandatory document under MARPOL Annex V for all vessels of 400 gross tons and above, and for any vessel certified to carry 15 or more persons. MARPOL Annex V regulates the discharge of every category of garbage from ships—from food waste and plastics to operational waste, cargo residues, and fishing gear. The requirements are strict, the special area restrictions are extensive, and incorrect disposal or inadequate record-keeping are among the most common deficiencies raised during port state control inspections. This professional package gives you a complete, survey-ready garbage management system with all supporting documents included.
Any superyacht of 400GT and above, or any vessel carrying 15 or more persons—regardless of size—requires a Garbage Management Plan. On commercial charter yachts, the GMP must be available for inspection at any time. Port state control officers in the Mediterranean (Paris MOU), Caribbean, and other high-enforcement regions regularly inspect garbage records, placard placement, and plan content during routine inspections. Private yachts operating in Annex V special areas, including the Baltic, North Sea, and Antarctic, face additional restrictions. If your current plan was created in-house without professional guidance, this package will bring it up to the standard surveyors expect.
A fully structured Word document covering all elements required by MARPOL Annex V and the IMO guidelines: designated person responsibilities, garbage handling and segregation procedures, storage and processing equipment inventory, discharge procedures by garbage category, special area requirements, minimisation strategies, and port reception facility procedures. Structured for straightforward flag state review.
Section-by-section completion instructions explaining each part of the GMP—what the regulation requires, how to document your vessel’s specific equipment and procedures, and how to update the plan when your operating area changes.
A laminate-ready single card summarising discharge restrictions by garbage category, special area boundaries, and on-deck placard requirements—designed for galley, bridge, and crew mess display.
An Excel-format record book matching the MARPOL Annex V recording requirements exactly. Pre-formatted for all entry types: discharges to port reception facilities, sea discharges where permitted, incineration records, and accidental loss entries.
Printable placards in multiple sizes (A4, A5, A6) showing discharge requirements, special area restrictions, and crew responsibilities in English. Additional language versions can be added to the Word source files.
A structured log for recording port facility usage, receipts, and any instances where adequate reception facilities were not available.
This package satisfies MARPOL Annex V as amended, IMO Resolution MEPC.220(63), and the MEPC.295(71) amendments. It is accepted by the Red Ensign Group (Cayman Islands, BVI, Gibraltar, Bermuda, Isle of Man, United Kingdom), Marshall Islands, Malta, and Bahamas flag state administrations.
This package was created by a Chief Engineer with extensive superyacht experience and direct involvement in MARPOL Annex V surveys across multiple flag states. The GMP reflects current enforcement standards, not the minimum the regulation technically requires. The record book format has been tested against flag state and PSC scrutiny. The placard templates are clear, professionally formatted, and ready for the laminator. When MARPOL Annex V is amended, purchasers receive the updated package at no additional cost.
