(Regulations 11(2) and 11(3) plus Schedule 2 of SI 2003 No 1809 refer) to the relevant
Harbour Authority/Terminal Operator, prior to vessel arrival [Regulation 17 of SI 2003 No
1809 refers]
(b) Failure of Vessel to deliver waste and/or cargo residues ashore prior to departure - if
vessel not exempt or if vessel does not have sufficient spare waste storage capacity on
board to be able to store waste likely to be accumulated on next voyage for delivery ashore
at next port [Regulations 12(1), 16(1) and Regulation 17 of SI 2003 No 1809 refer]
