1. Member States shall calculate the sufficient dedicated storage capacity for the application of Article 7(4), points (a) and (b), and Article 9 of Directive (EU) 2019/883 by using the method set out in Annex I to this Regulation.
2. For the purpose of verifying the information provided in accordance with Annex 2 to Directive (EU) 2019/883, by estimating the on-board generation of different waste types, Member States shall take into account the waste generation rates set out in Annex II to this Regulation.
3. In addition to the waste generation rates set out in Annex II to this Regulation, Member States may use one or both of the following criteria to determine estimates for the on-board generation of different waste types:
(a)
historic records for generated waste, based on advance waste notification forms and waste delivery receipts available for the ship in question;
(b)
on-board inspections obtaining information on previous waste generation rates, details of on-board waste management and equipment specific or trading area specific information affecting the actual waste generation rate.
The method for calculating the sufficient dedicated storage capacity, set out in Annex I to this Regulation, shall not be applicable to the following waste types:
(a)
waste types under Annex II to the MARPOL Convention;
(b)
passively fished waste.
ANNEX I
Calculation method for sufficient dedicated waste storage capacity
1.
The method uses an arithmetic calculation based on the estimated amounts of waste retained on board in relation to the maximum dedicated storage capacity.
2.
The Used Waste Capacity (‘UWC’), estimated at the time of sending the advance waste notification to the port of call and expressed as a percentage of the maximum dedicated storage capacity, shall not exceed a predefined threshold.
3.
The UWC shall be calculated with the following formula:
4.
The UWC shall comply with the following condition:
UWC (%) < Threshold
Where:
A is the estimated amount of waste type to be retained on board at the time of departure from the port of call (expressed in m 3 );
M is the Maximum dedicated storage capacity (expressed in m 3 );
Threshold is the value set out in Table 1, for the corresponding type of waste and next port of call.

5.
For the purpose of using the calculation method for sufficient dedicated waste storage capacity, the following shall apply:
(a)
Port of call, as indicated in the advance waste notification form set out in Annex 2 to Directive (EU) 2019/883, is the port where the ship is heading and where the advanced waste notification is sent to, in accordance with Article 6 of Directive (EU) 2019/883;
(b)
Next port of call is the port to be called after departure, as indicated in point 2.5 of the advance waste notification form set out in Annex 2 to Directive (EU) 2019/883;
(c)
The amount indicated in the sixth column ‘Estimated amount of waste to be generated between notification and next port of call’ of point 3 of the advance waste notification form set out in Annex 2 to Directive (EU) 2019/883 refers to waste generated and intended to be disposed at a port reception facility. Amounts that may be legally discharged shall not be included in the reported value.
6.
The ‘Group of Additional Selected Ports’ includes those ports that are to be considered as EU-ports for the purpose of the application of the thresholds set out in Table 1. The ports included in this group are all ports located in: Iceland, Norway, United Kingdom (including Isle of Man, Channel Islands and Gibraltar) and Russian ports located in the Baltic Sea.
7.
During the first two years of application of this Regulation, the UWC as calculated in the third paragraph of this Annex may be treated as indicative for the following cargo residues waste types:
(a)
MARPOL Annex I – Oil: Oily tank washings;
(b)
MARPOL Annex I – Oil: Dirty Ballast Water;
(c)
MARPOL Annex V – Garbage: Cargo Residues (HME);
(d)
MARPOL Annex V – Garbage: Cargo Residues (non-HME).

On-board treatment
Oily bilge water
0,01-13 m 3 per day, larger ships generate larger quantities.
Condensation and leakages in the engine room; size of the ship.
The amount can be reduced by 65-85 % by using an oil water separator and discharging the water fraction into the sea.
Oily residues (sludge)
0,01 to 0,03 m 3 of sludge per tonne of HFO.
0 and 0,01 m 3 per tonne of MGO.
Type of fuel; fuel consumption.
Evaporation can reduce the amount of sludge by up to 75 % ( 2 ) .
Incineration can reduce the amount of sludge by 99 % or more.
Tank washings (slops)
20 to hundreds of m 3
Number of tank cleanings; size of loading capacity.
After settling, the water fraction may be discharged at sea.
Sewage
0,01 to 0,06 m 3 per person per day. Sewage is sometimes mixed with other waste water. The total amount ranges from 0,04 to 0,45 m 3 per day per person.
Number of persons on-board; type of toilets; length of voyage; type of treatment: the operation of a sewage treatment plant, or comminuting and disinfection system provides different quantities of waste
Effluent from treatment plants is often discharged at sea where permitted under MARPOL Annex IV.
Plastics
0,001 to 0,008 m 3 of plastics per person per day.
Number of persons on-board.
Often not incinerated.
Dirty plastics (plastics that have been in contact with food) are often treated as a separate waste stream.
Food wastes

Where permitted under MARPOL Annex V, food waste is often discharged at sea.

Cooking oil
0,01 to 0,08 litres per person per day.

NB : The amount of exhaust gas cleaning system sludge generated depends ultimately also on the individual installation specifics: the exhaust gas cleaning system manual provided by the manufacturer should therefore be consulted. Information in the tables provided by stakeholder companies.

( 2 ) Evaporation of the water fraction in oil sludge is a process that must be carefully managed and should only be done to the extent to allow combustibility of the sludge intended for incineration.
