F.No.:- ENG/OPP-MARPOL-38(5)/04 PT.ll Dater 20.11.2018 Gircular No. 06 of 2018 l. Introduction: India being a signatory to MARPOL Convention is obliged to provide adequate waste reception facilities in its ports for various ship generated wastes. The Merchant Shipping Act, 1958, mandates and imposes responsibility for the ports to provide in their own capacity such facilities to the satisfaction of Central Government. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Directorate General of Shipping being the Indian Administration under Merchant Shipping Act, 195 8 is responsible to Intemational Maritime Organization and hence obligated to deal with any reported inadequacies ofsuch port reception facility. Over the years, the Directorate has been answering a number of complaints registered on IMO GISIS Website by foreign ships on inadequacy of reception facility in Indian ports. An assessment of port reception facilities provided by various Indian ports was carried out and it has been noted that many factors such as lack of advance notification; non-availability of details of port reception facility providers on port website; non-availability of port reception facilities for various ship generated waste in some ports and other administrative issues caused inadequacies in service delivery. In order to facilitate ships and to help Indian ports create an efficient, effective and transparent port reception service delivery, the Directorate has developed an on-line Centralized Port Reception Facility portal. This portal, the link of which is available on DGS website, is known as "Swachh Sagar". Apart from easing the provision ofport reception facility, the portal will capture data to provide following other services in due course:a) Provision of adequate port reception facilities depending upon type of ships entering a port and the waste type given to shore facility. b) Tracking of end disposal of waste collected for compliance to National and local laws. c) Setting up of infrastructure for shore electric power supply by calculating electric power demand in various ports to control air pollution 2. Swachh Sagar: Web portal The portal is designed to capture the inventory of ship generated waste on any ship on arriving at an Indian port. The ship captain/owner/managerlagent is required to access the portal and fill up certain required information irrespective of whether they require port reception facility or not. If the port reception facility is required, this necessary advance notification for the same can be raised through this portal' Subsequently portal will connect the captain/own erlmanagerlagent requesting for port reception facility with all port approved vendors of arrival port to negotiate and fix a suitable vendor and date and time for disposal of ship generated waste. All these communications are visible to port authority as well as DG shipping. Apan from handing over shore reception receipt to Master, a copy of the same will be uploaded by the vendor on the portal. The master/owner/mangers/agent can also lodge a complaint regarding inadequate service delivery or non-availability of shore reception facility via the portal. In case of any complaints, communication done on this platform will only be considered as formal for investigation. Therefore, it is mandatory for ports, ships, vendors to use this platform for all MARpoL discharge related requests. 3.
