MARPOL Annex V deals with which topic?

• A. Air pollution from ships
• B. Garbage from ships
• C. Ballast water management
• D. Sewage from ships

Answer: (B)

MARPOL Annex V is about preventing marine pollution from ship-generated garbage. It sets out what counts as garbage, how it must be managed on board, and the rules for disposal or reception in port to minimize pollution of the sea. The focus is specifically on removing or properly handling ship waste rather than emissions or other environmental issues. This is the best choice because the other topics belong to different MARPOL annexes or conventions: air pollution from ships is covered by MARPOL Annex VI, ballast water management is handled by ballast water conventions, and sewage from ships is regulated under MARPOL Annex IV.
