Paragraph 36 - Temporary storage of specified waste at a
harbour
What the legislation says:
36. —(1) The temporary secure storage of waste to which
sub-paragraphs (2) and (3) apply, at waste reception facilities
provided within a harbour area in accordance with the Merchant
Shipping and Fishing Vessels (Port Waste Reception Facilities)
Regulations 2003 ("the 2003 Regulations"), where such storage is
incidental to the collection or transport of the waste.
(2) This paragraph applies to waste other than tank washings
(including such special waste as is listed in Table 4D), but only
if–
(a) the amount of waste so stored within a harbour area at any
time does not exceed 20 cubic metres for each ship from which waste
has been landed; and
(b) no waste is so stored for more than seven days.
(3) This paragraph applies to waste which consists of tank
washings (including such special waste as is listed in Table 4E),
but only if–
(a) the amount of tank washings consisting of dirty ballast so
stored within a harbour area at any time does not exceed 30% of the
total deadweight of the ships from which such washings have been
landed; and
(b) the amount of tank washings consisting of waste mixtures
containing oil so stored within a harbour area at any time does not
exceed 1% of the total deadweight of the ships from which such
washings have been landed.
(4) In this paragraph–
"harbour area" has the same meaning as in the Dangerous
Substances in Harbour Areas Regulations 1987;
"ship" has the same meaning as in the 2003 Regulations;
"tank washings" means waste residues from the tanks (other than
the fuel tanks) or holds of a ship or waste arising from the
cleaning of such tanks or holds.

Registration Requirements:
Needs to be registered with SEPA but no fee is required. Where
waste is being stored at the place of production, the activity does
not have to be registered.
This exemption can be registered online.
However, establishments and undertakings can still use the paper
form should they wish. This form should be sent to the Registrar at
your local SEPA area office (addresses are given on the form)
The following questions and answers are provided to help you
further understand this exemption:
Q. How long will the registration last? Will it require
renewal at any time?
A. The registration of this exemption is not time limited
but it can be de-registered by SEPA if it is not managed properly
and no longer fulfills the criteria requirements of the exemption
or if the activities cause pollution or harm to health. If the
activity does comply with the exemption criteria the registration
will not have to be renewed except where there is a significant
change to the activity.
