5.4 ExemptionFor ships which frequently and regularly call in at certain ports the obligations regarding notification,delivery and payment can be disproportionately burdensome.The Wvvs therefore provides the possibility to obtain exemption from these obligations pursuant toArticle 35a of the Wvvs. A ship may be eligible for an exemption if:• it concerns a ship which according to a timetable frequently and regularly calls in at certain ports;• it has been sufficiently demonstrated that delivery of ship waste has been arranged in a port to becalled in at according to the timetable. In the area of application this is the case if a contract forwaste delivery is presented for a port in a Member State of the European Union or a port inNorway, Iceland or one of the Baltic States which is also called in at at least once every 14 days;• for this delivery sufficient fees are due.Restrictions or further conditions may be attached to an exemption.5.4.1 Procedure for obtaining an exemptionA (representative of a) ship may submit an application for exemption for ships as referred to in §5.3.1. to the Minister of Transport, Public Works and Water Management (IVW/TEZ – ShippingInspectorate of the Inspectorate Transport and Water Management).IVW determines whether the ship is eligible for exemption. IVW may charge the applicant for theexemption.5.4.2 Period of validity of the exemptionAn exemption is granted for a certain period. Exemptions are valid for a maximum of 5 years. Anexemption may be withdrawn before the end of the validity period if:• the timetable or its frequency changes;• the contract with the processor changes or expires;• the ship has insufficient room for storage of the waste; or• the conditions under which the exemption was granted are no longer being complied with.If a ship which has been granted an exemption is temporarily replaced by an equivalent ship inconnection with an accident or maintenance the exemption is transferred to the replacement ship if itcomplies with the conditions under which the exemption was granted. IVW/TEZ must be notifiedimmediately of this replacement. If the replacement is for a period longer than one month, theIVW/TEZ must be informed of this. IVW/TEZ will then determine whether a new exemption is required.If other changes occur the operator must also report this immediately to the IVW/TEZ.For the extension of an exemption the same form can be used which must also be submitted toIVW/TEZ.An exemption does not prejudice the submission of a notification as referred to in the respective port(management) bye-laws within the PWP’s area of application.Version 3 October 2009 page 18 of 36 2010 Port Waste Reception and Handling Plan
