Abstract

The primary contributor to marine pollution is the sewage generated on board ships. This waste poses significant environmental risks when discharged into the sea without undergoing appropriate treatment processes. Marpol 73/78 mandates the treatment of human waste in accordance with established standard procedures. These sewage treatment systems must be properly maintained and operated. Consequently, it is imperative to ensure the cooperation and awareness of the crew in implementing these regulations as stipulated. This investigation employed a qualitative descriptive methodology, with data collected through observations conducted in 2023. The research methodology encompassed direct observation of the subject matter and interviews with crew members. The analysis was performed with reference to relevant regulations and literature. The findings of the study indicated that the sewage management plan did not adhere to the processing procedures and disposal distance requirements as specified by the Marpol 73/78 standard.
