2CARGO MANAGEMENT AND SHIP SURVEY
Introduction
Cargo management performs an essential role in the import and export of goods between
the buyer and seller, particularly in the maritime domain. However, despite more than 90 percent
of the world's trade being performed by sea, either group often knows very little about this
subject. This unique document gives a clear and thorough introduction to the main aspects
involved in shipping and carriage of products by sea. This report discusses the MARPOL
convention and the way in which this helps to sustain the environment. This report analyzes the
relevance of the Bunker survey and the future of this type of surveys. There are the significance
of STWC is discussed and this study differentiate between the Flag and Port State Control
inspection.
MARPOL Convention
The International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) is
the biggest international convention, which protect the ships from organizational or unintended
causes to prevent contamination of the marine life (Ataergin 2015). The Convention contains
rules aimed at preventing or mitigating the pollution caused by ships from both unintended and
regular activities and presently incorporates six specific annexes. Many Annexes with the special
places with highly control on the operating release.
Annex I Regulations for the Prevention of Pollution by Oil (entered into force 2 October 1983)
Protect the avoidance of fuel emissions from both regulatory steps and unintended
release. The 1992 changes to the Annex I made it compulsory to the new oil tankers for
providing the double hulls and implemented a phase timetable to the current tankers for matching

the double hulls that was eventually amended in the years 2001 and 2003 (Iduk and Samson
2015).
Annex II Regulations for the Control of Pollution by Noxious Liquid Substances in
Bulk (entered into force 2 October 1983)
Information the disposal requirements and pollution control procedures for harmful liquid
compounds shipped in bulk; almost 250 substances have been evaluated and included in list
annexed to the MARPOL Convention; disposal of the residues are approved for receiving
provision until certain quantities and standards varying along with various elements have been
achieved (Jabour 2014). In any event, no discharge of contaminants including toxic chemicals
within 12 miles from closest land is allowed.
Annex III Prevention of Pollution by Harmful Substances Carried by Sea in Packaged Form
(entered into force 1 July 1992)
This is included with the particular criteria for the purpose of issuance of comprehensive
labeling, packing, documentation, marking, quantity limits, exceptions, notifications and storage
standards (Uddin and Karim 2018). Hazardous elements in this Annex are the contaminants,
which are classified such as maritime contaminants in International Maritime Dangerous Goods
Code that is IMDG Code, which helps in meeting the requirements set out in Appendix of
the Annex III.
Annex IV Prevention of Pollution by Sewage from Ships (entered into force 27 September
2003)
