The MCA has embarked upon an industry wide consultation on the draft Merchant Shipping (Prevention of Pollution by Sewage and Garbage from Ships) Regulations 2008 which will impose the new provisions of MARPOL Annex IV (Sewage) and Annex V (Garbage). Lorraine Weller explains the extent and expected effect of the provisions.

High-Point Rendel is acting as specialist maritime engineering consultant on a dredging and coastal protection project in a river estuary in West Malaysia for which it is proposed to deploy the same Accropode concrete armour units as those being used at Scarborough.
