What is PPPA cap requirement?

The PPPA (Prevention of Pollution from Ships) cap requirement refers to regulations aimed at limiting the discharge of pollutants from ships to protect marine environments. Under international agreements like MARPOL, ships must comply with specific standards regarding the treatment and disposal of waste, including oil, sewage, and hazardous materials. The cap requirement ensures that vessels have adequate systems in place to manage waste and prevent pollution, contributing to sustainable maritime practices. Compliance is monitored through inspections and certifications to ensure adherence to these environmental standards.
