This document provides a method for addressing ship generated waste and cargo residues from when they are offloaded from the ship, to how they are managed ashore. The provision, operation and use of port reception facilities (PRFs) are inherently linked, so this document addresses the design of PRFs, and their operation and management. This document is designed to be used by ports and terminals with existing PRFs which aim to refine their systems; it can also be used by new ports and terminals that are developing PRFs. Parties to MARPOL are obligated as Port States to ensure that port reception facilities (PRFs) adequate to meet the needs of the ships using them without causing undue delay are provided at their ports and terminals. MARPOL does not seek to regulate the management of ship generated waste and cargo residues at ports and terminals beyond the reception facility requirement. However, ports and terminals may need to consider national, regional and local regulations. While these regulations can exceed the scope of MARPOL, the IMO recognises the need to manage ship generated waste and cargo residues at ports and terminals as part of an environmentally sound management approach for avoiding, minimising, and eliminating pollution from ships. In consideration of above, this document applies to the management of ship generated waste and cargo residues regulated by MARPOL that are discharged at ports and terminals. It also covers principles and issues that should be considered in the development of a PWMP, its implementation and PRF operations. The operation of any PRF is governed by the principles and procedures included in the PWMP. The procedures to operate the PRF and the development of a PWMP are closely linked and therefore are integrated into this document. This document addresses the principles and issues that should be considered in: — The development of a port waste management strategy; — The design and operation of PRF; — PWMP development, implementation and compliance; and — PRF management and accountability. This document has been designed to be used by ports and terminals of any size. It does not give specifics on the size or location of a PRF in each port, but provides a list of principles to be considered and applied to any size of type of port or terminal (e.g. marina, fishing port, container terminal, oil terminal, roll on/roll off terminal, cruise terminal, ferry terminal, bulk or general cargo terminal, ship repair or recycling facility, and offshore terminal). Inland ports and marinas and those ports that have entered regional arrangements for the provision of a PRF can also use this document.
Abstract
Overview
ISO 16304:2018 - Ships and marine technology: Marine environment protection - Arrangement and management of port waste reception facilities (PRFs) - provides a practical, standardized method for managing ship generated waste and cargo residues from the moment they are offloaded to their downstream ashore management. It helps ports and terminals (new or existing) design, operate and manage PRFs and develop a Port Waste Management Plan (PWMP) that meets MARPOL obligations while supporting environmentally sound waste minimisation.
Key topics and technical requirements
ISO 16304:2018 covers the full lifecycle of PRF provision and operation. Major technical topics include:
- Waste management strategy elements - administrative, legal, technological, infrastructure and support services.
- Design and operation of PRFs - port characteristics, spatial and siting considerations, types (fixed, floating, mobile), handling capacity and equipment, storage and accessibility.
- Waste characteristics and handling - segregation, recycling, final disposal options and participation in reuse/recovery programs.
- Port Waste Management Plan (PWMP) - development, legislation/regulatory alignment, roles and responsibilities, documentation and procedures.
- Cost recovery and finance - fee systems, incentives and economic considerations to support PRF operations.
- Data collection, monitoring and notifications - data management for compliance, reporting and continuous improvement.
- Implementation and assurance - PWMP review, periodic auditing and corrective actions.
- Supporting material - annexes with examples of ship-originating waste streams and conversion factors to aid planning.
The standard emphasizes the waste-minimisation hierarchy: prevention → recycling → energy recovery → disposal (onboard) and avoidance → reduction → reuse → recycling → incineration with energy recovery → disposal (ashore).
Applications and who uses it
ISO 16304:2018 is designed for practical use by:
- Port authorities and terminal operators (marinas, fishing ports, container, oil, ro-ro, cruise, ferry, bulk, ship repair/recycling, offshore terminals)
- Maritime regulators and national authorities implementing MARPOL obligations
- Environmental and operations managers developing PWMPs and PRF procedures
- Consultants and designers planning PRF infrastructure and logistics
- Ship owners, ship agents and waste service providers seeking harmonized reception practices
Use cases include PRF design, operational procedures, cost-recovery schemes, regulatory compliance checks, and integration with broader environmental management systems.
Related standards
- MARPOL (IMO) requirements for port reception facilities (legal framework)
- ISO 21070 (shipboard waste segregation methodology)
- ISO 14001 (environmental management systems) - ISO 16304 complements ISO 14001 by focusing specifically on PRFs and PWMPs
ISO 16304:2018 supports consistent, environmentally responsible port waste management and helps ports meet MARPOL obligations while optimising operational efficiency.
