Guidelines for Providing and Improving Port Reception Facilities and Services for Ship-Generated Marine litter in the Northwest Pacific Region

The objective of these guidelines is to help reduce the discharge of ship-generated marine litter (garbage) into the sea by the provision and improvement of the capacity and efficiency of port reception facilities and waste management practices onboard, thereby enhancing the protection of the marine and coastal environment. These guidelines were developed as part of the NOWPAP Marine Litter Activity (MALITA) project.
