M3000-3.1.3

SOPEP Manual, Garbage Management Plan and anti-pollution equipment

M3000-3 · Onboard Ship Operation · M3000-3.1 Compliance with Pollution Requirements

Covers the SOPEP and Garbage Management Plan — their legal basis, content, carriage thresholds, and the Master's command-level responsibilities — together with the anti-pollution equipment that underpins both.

Independent preparatory study aligned to the MCA Master (Yachts less than 3000 GT) examination syllabus (updated June 2026). Not an MCA-approved course and confers no credit toward a Certificate of Competency.
