• Divided in categories.
• choice of category / sub-category
• GT-class / type of vessel / engine power etc.
• Model for type and quantity of waste generated by
  all these vessels.
• Result is needed maximum capacity at certain
  moment.

Experiences in 2005

• Amsterdam Port Authority

28
Experiences facts (1)

• Number of waste reports above 95, contents of
  waste reports unreliable. Value of reports
  doubtful.
• 30 of vessels discharging annex V, 6 annex I
  (average figure).
• At shoreside legal aspects do not match with
  Marpol, a.o
• Annex V in Marpol includes both garbage and
  hazardous waste environmental legislation
  separates these wastes.
• Definition of port reception facility
• Difference between normal garbage and
  cargo-associated annex V hard to determine.

29
Experiences facts(2)

• After 1 year 1.000.000,-- because
• Not assumed 75 number of vessels discharging,
  but only 30.
• Not optimal use of allowed -rights most for
  annex V only.
• Administration/financial process a lot of work.
• Definition of the indirect percentage
  (contribute sifnificantly) in directive
  2000/59/EC is not clear. Can only be calculated
  afterwards.

Changes in 2006

• Amsterdam Port Authority

34
Changes 2006 from 01/04/2006

• Lower fee, raise the right to discharge.
• This will give extra encouragement for
  discharging.
• Split the waste right in separate right for annex
  V and annex I. Include cargo-associated waste.
• This will give extra opportunity to discharge
  both annex V and I.
• Simplify administration process.
• Payment of direct to waste collectors, not to
  agents.
• Put more emphasis on enforcement.
• Negotiate with government.
