Foreword

To implement such laws and regulations as the Law of the People's Republic of

China on Environmental Protection, the Law of the People's Republic of China

on Prevention and Control of Water Pollution, the Law of the People's Republic

of China on Marine Environmental Protection, the Management Provisions of

the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Marine

Pollution by Ship, to protect the environment and prevent pollution, to promote

the advancement of ship water pollutant emission control technology, to

promote the ship pollutant reception and handling facility construction, and to

promote the green development of ship and related equipment manufacturing

industry, this standard is hereby developed.

This standard specifies the emission control requirements for ships discharging

oily sewage, domestic sewage, sewage containing toxic liquid substances and

ship garbage to environmental water bodies, as well as standards

implementation and supervision requirements.

This standard was first published in 1983 and this is the first revision. The main

revisions are as follows.

1 MODIFY the standard name in accordance with the property of controlled

emission of pollutants;

2 ADJUST the scope of application of the standard, ADD the emission

control requirements for wastewater containing toxic liquid substances;

3 In accordance with the waters and ship categories, SPECIFY the emission

control requirements for oily sewage, domestic sewage, sewage

containing toxic liquid substances and ship garbage;

4 For the ship domestic sewage discharge, ADD the pollutant control items

such as pH, chemical oxygen demand (CODCr), total chlorine (total

residual chlorine), total nitrogen, ammonia nitrogen and total phosphorus;

5 TIGHTEN the emission limit of the five-day biochemical oxygen demand

(BOD5), suspended solids (SS) and thermotolerant coliform counts in

petroleum and domestic sewage in the oily sewage of the ship;

6 ADJUST the provisions on ship waste classification, UPDATE the ship

waste discharge control requirements;

7 DEFINE the monitoring requirements for pollutants in oily sewage and

domestic sewage in ship machinery locations.

The Ship Pollutant Emission Standard (GB 3552-83) shall be abolished from

Discharge standard for water pollutants from ships

1 Scope

This standard stipulates the emission control requirements and monitoring

requirements for oily sewage and domestic sewage of ships, the emission

control requirements for sewage and marine waste containing toxic liquid

substances, and the implementation and supervision of standards.

This standard is applicable to the supervision and management of the

discharge of oily sewage, domestic sewage, sewage containing toxic liquid

substances and ship garbage into environmental water bodies in the territory
