Sustainable management of MARPOL 73/78 Annex II Noxious liquid substance Wastes generated from Chemical Tankers at Indian Ports

Noxious Liquid Waste substances management planning, Transportation, & its implementation is an important Administrative, Technical, Environmental, Economic & Financial issue for India and World's Developing countries. As in the case of Indian ports, Noxious liquid substance waste management planning, and its implications forms a rapidly growing subject of interest in the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Government of India because Indian ports are sources of considerable volumes of Noxious liquid substance/ hazardous wastes.One of the main subjects of Indian authorities dealing with Environmentally Sound matters is ship and port Noxious liquid substances waste management. The implementation of MARPOL involves separate perceptions between the way Noxious Liquid Substance waste management from vessels is carried out and the systems and controls implemented in land-generated hazardous liquid waste management. As there are differences between land-based and maritime waste management, the MARPOL Annex II NLS classification varies at local waste reception facilities outside ports. Yet, to avoid a ship-shore interface break, an onboard and ashore integrated Hazardous or NLS liquid waste management system is essential. Developing and implementing Unified Standard Operating procedures for collection, transfer & Disposal of Noxious liquid Substances might best address the adverse impacts of NLS waste management at Indian Ports [12]
