GARBAGE MANAGEMENT PLAN ABAN VIII Approved By: A. Gray

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 The intent of this document is to provide Aban VIII personnel with information
on the requirements for complying with applicable regulations of MARPOL
73/78, Annex V and all other subsequent resolutions, and Regulations for the
Prevention of Pollution by Garbage from Ships. Compliance with the provisions
of Annex V requires the careful planning by the Aban VIII designated Man in
Charge (MIC) of the rig and proper execution and coordination by onboard
personnel. This document provides guidelines for rig personnel to comply with
Annex V and for associated equipment usage onboard.

1.2 This Garbage Management Plan (GMP) is a roadmap to minimizing our footprint
on the environment through waste generation. It provides methods to be utilized
in waste source reduction, recycling of waste, and proper disposal of waste as
well as the means to measure and monitor waste generation.

1.3 The responsibility shared by all persons to do their part in protecting the
environment against unnecessary degradation is a responsibility Aban recognizes
and embraces. Responsibility for waste management is clearly defined within this
GMP. Personal responsibility should be a primary motivating factor in behavior
on board.

1.4 This GMP and the associated Record of Garbage Discharges provide objective
evidence of compliance with international and local legislation concerning the
prevention of pollution by garbage generated by this mobile offshore drilling unit
(MODU).

2.0 REGULATORY REQUIREMENT

2.1 International pollution prevention regulatory requirements are stated in MARPOL

73/78. This GMP addresses Annex V only. It is important that those persons
designated as focal points for waste management be thoroughly familiar with
international requirements. For purposes of reference, the nine regulations of
Annex V are as follows.

2.1a Regulation 1: Definitions

2.1b Regulation 2: Application [of Annex V]

2.1c Regulation 3: Disposal of garbage outside special areas

2.1d Regulation 4: Special requirements for disposal of garbage

2.1e Regulation 5: Disposal of garbage within special areas

2.1f Regulation 6: Exceptions

2.1g Regulation 7: Reception facilities

2.1h Regulation 8: Port State control on operational requirements

2.1i Regulation 9: Placards, garbage management plans and garbage

recordkeeping

2.2 Of particular note is Regulation 9(2) which reads as follows.

“Every ship of 400 tons gross tonnage and above, and every ship which is
certified to carry 15 persons or more shall carry a garbage management plan
which the crew shall follow. This plan shall provide written procedures for
collecting, storing, processing and disposing of garbage, including the use of the
equipment on board. It shall also designate the person in charge of carrying out
the plan. Such a plan shall be in accordance with the guidelines developed by the
organization [International Maritime Organization (IMO)] and written in the
working language of the crew.”

2.3 Coastal state legislation concerning waste management must be observed. The
shore-based Rig Manager shall provide the information necessary to comply.

2.4 The coastal state ensures that facilities for the reception of waste are available at
ports and terminals. Facilities deemed acceptable by the coastal state are used by
Aban.

3.0 PREVENTION AND REDUCTION OF POLLUTION FROM GARBAGE

3.1 Source Reduction

3.1a The rig’s garbage is made up of distinct components, some of which are
addressed in MARPOL 73/78, while others may be addressed locally,
nationally or regionally, e.g., domestic, operational, unit stores-
associated, food and maintenance wastes. Each component should be

GARBAGE MANAGEMENT PLAN ABAN VIII Approved By: A. Gray

evaluated separately to determine the best waste management practice for

that waste.

3.1b A good start towards achieving company waste reduction goals can be
reached by implementing the following practices.

3.1b1 When ordering stores and provisions, encourage suppliers to apply

the substitution principle in order to reduce, to the greatest extent
and at an early stage, the generation of garbage on board.

3.1b2 Purchase materials in bulk: utilize marine bags for sand and use
portable tanks in place of drums whenever possible. In addition, do
not over-purchase products for projects. Make arrangements with
the vendor to pick up any products that are not used.

3.1b3 Review purchasing practices to determine if alternative

commodities that generate less waste can be obtained. Also,
whenever economically and technologically practical, purchase
products manufactured from recycled materials.

3.1b4 Request that vendors reduce over-packaging.

3.1b5 Where practical options exist, provisions packaged in or made of

materials other than disposable plastic should be selected to
replenish rig’s supplies unless a reusable plastic alternative is
available.

3.1b6 Stowage systems and methods that reuse coverings, dunnage,

shoring, lining, and packing materials

3.1b7 Use reusable containers for delivery of groceries instead of boxes.

3.1b8 Use refillable food containers (i.e., ketchup bottles)

3.1b9 Utilize reusable plastic/ceramic dishes and cups when possible.

Disposable cups, utensils, dishes, towels and rags, and other
convenience items should be limited and replaced by washable
items whenever possible.

3.2 Recycling

The world is rapidly running out of landfill space for waste and once considered
unlimited raw materials are becoming scarce. In addition, the manufacture of
some substances such as Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) for air conditioning,
refrigeration, and fire fighting are being discontinued. There are many products
that can be recycled.

3.3 Disposal

Although disposal offshore is possible if consistent with Annex V, discharge of

garbage to port reception facilities should be given first priority. Disposal of
waste is to be done in compliance with local, state, as well as international rules
and regulations. When disposing of garbage, the following points should be
considered.

3.3a Garbage should be compacted to reduce volume and minimize the chances
of waste blowing overboard, floating on the water, and possibly reaching
shore.

3.3b Maintenance wastes contaminated with substances such as oil or toxic

chemicals are in some cases controlled under other annexes or other
pollution control laws. In such cases, the more stringent disposal
requirements always take precedence.

4.0 DESIGNATED PERSONS FOR PLAN IMPLEMENTATION AND

MAINTENANCE

4.1 Man in Charge (MIC)

The designated MIC of the GMP shall be the Offshore Installation Manager
(OIM). The OIM shall be responsible for implementing the procedures as
mentioned in this plan. The OIM shall be assisted by onboard staff to ensure that
collection, separation and processing, storing and disposal of garbage are
MARPOL73/78, Annex V compliant and efficient in all areas of rig and the
procedures aboard are carried out in accordance with this plan.

5.0 COLLECTION, STORAGE, AND DISPOSAL PROCEDURE

5.1 General

5.1a As per Regulation 4 of Annex V, the discharge of garbage from MODUs,

as well as all other ships when alongside or within 500 meters of the
MODU (fixed or floating platform), is prohibited. Food that is ground to a
size smaller than 25 millimeters (1 square inch), as long as the MODU is
located 12 nautical miles away from land and not in a special area is an
exception.

5.1b With this in mind, all waste except for ground food as stated above, will
be transported to shore for disposal. Transportation to shore and disposal
of waste while the MODU is on location is usually the responsibility of
the Client. All processed and unprocessed garbage which must be stored
for any length of time shall be in tight, securely covered, and clearly
labeled containers.

5.1c Food waste and associated garbage items which are returned to port and
which may carry the threat of disease or pests should be kept separate
from garbage which does not contain any food waste. Both types of
garbage should be in separate, clearly marked containers to avoid incorrect
disposal and treatment.

5.1d When in port or at a shipyard for repair, all waste will be shipped and
disposed ashore.

5.1e The collection of garbage is to be considered a continuous process.

Collection begins with generation. All personnel are to contribute to the
collection process by properly placing garbage in garbage receptacles.
Placing garbage in any other location than designated garbage receptacles
is unacceptable behavior for anyone on board.

5.2 Waste Collection, Storage, and Disposal

5.2a Domestic, drilling-related, and maintenance wastes that can be compacted

in plastic bags are to be placed in sealed, labeled containers for transport
to shore. Garbage shall be stored in such a manner so as to avoid health
and safety hazards.

GARBAGE MANAGEMENT PLAN ABAN VIII Approved By: A. Gray

5.2b Cooking grease is collected in labeled drums/container and stored in a

noncombustible storage area that is protected from the weather. Waste
cooking grease is transported to shore to be recycled or disposed
according to local regulations.

5.2c Domestic waste is to be collected in clearly labeled, plastic containers

located throughout the quarters. Waste collected in these containers shall
be transferred to the labeled containers/bags for transport to shore. The
garbage will be compacted by compactor to reduce the volume.

5.2d Food waste is to be collected in labeled plastic containers located in the

galley and mess areas, then transferred into plastic or steel drums or
plastic bags designed especially for transporting. Alternatively, food waste
may be disposed by grinding in compliance with Annex V, Regulation 4.

5.2e Metal cans are cleaned and placed with metal waste for recycling. Cans
may be compacted. Metal cans are to be stored with other metal waste and
sent to shore for recycling.

5.2f Metal is to be placed in a scrap metal storage area and sent to shore for
recycling.

5.2g Empty sacks containing Drilling Mud Additives from the mud mixing
room are retained in a designated storage area until transported to shore.
Mud chemical sacks must be empty of chemicals. Once transported to
shore, drilling mud sacks are disposed of by the operator in compliance
with local regulations.

5.2h Grease/pipe dope is to be collected in clearly labeled drums/containers and

stored in a manner that is free from moisture. Containers, grease, or pipe
dope are transported to shore for recycling as per local regulations.

5.2i Packing material and packages, such as paper boxes, sacks, plastic
packages and packing material are placed in polypropylene shipping bags
and are stored until sent to shore for disposal according to local
regulations. The material can be compacted to reduce the volume.

5.2j Oily rags and used gloves are collected in a separate container, stored, and
transported to shore in labeled container/bags for disposal as per local
regulation.

5.2k Medical waste that may be contaminated with body fluids, including
bandages, dressings, and rags used to clean up the spillage of body fluids,
are stored in a designated medical waste container. Needles, syringes, and
other medical scraps are to be placed in a puncture-resistant, leak-proof
medical waste container for storage. Medical waste is to be clearly
identified as hazardous material on the manifest and transported to shore
to be disposed of at an approved medical waste disposal facility.

5.2l Plastic waste is stored with either operational or domestic waste and sent
to shore for disposal as per local regulations.

5.3 Garbage shall be segregated as per the six categories mentioned in the Garbage
Record Book when sent ashore.

5.4 Receptacles for each special category of waste shall be provided in appropriate
storage spaces throughout the MODU and clearly marked, stored, and handled in
compliance with this plan and the Aban environmental management system.
Roustabouts, drill crew, and Floormen under direction are assigned to collecting
and emptying these receptacles and taking the garbage or receptacles to the
appropriate processing or storage location.

5.5 Processing

5.5a The Aban VIII is equipped with a garbage compactor on the main deck
port forward below the living quarters.

5.5b Compactors make garbage easier to store.

5.5c A food waste disposer shall be used to grind food waste to a particle size
capable of passing through a screen with openings not larger than 25
millimeters. Such a process is recommended even beyond 12 nautical
miles due to the particle size hastening assimilation into the marine
environment.

5.6 Food grinders and trash compactors shall be maintained as a part of the rig’s
Preventive Maintenance System (PMS). Operation of this equipment shall be in

accordance with the operating instructions provided by the manufacturer of the

equipment.

5.7 Special Requirements

5.7a Recyclable material shall be processed according to the recycling facility

requirements for recyclable material. This may require additional sorting,
cleaning, etc., on the part of rig personnel. The amount of additional work
necessary to meet requirements is contingent on the cooperation of those
persons generating and depositing garbage in receptacles located about the
rig.

5.7b Used fluorescent lamps and ballasts should either be contained in their
original packages or contained in purpose-built containers to prevent
breakage. The risk of exposing personnel to mercury, cadmium, and
antimony exists when tubes and ballasts are improperly stored and/or
transported.

5.7c Drill line and riser tensioner lines, as well as used wire rope slings, crane
lines, air hoist lines etc., should be segregated for transport to disposal /
recycling facilities. Of course, all lifting gear to be disposed shall be
rendered unsuitable for use by destruction before transporting to shore.

6.0 TRAINING

6.1 The OIM shall ensure that the crew is aware of, and follows, the GMP by
ensuring that an introduction to all new crew members is made during the rig
orientation and induction process. This familiarization includes collection,
segregation, processing, storage, and disposal of various types of garbage as
outlined in the GMP.

6.2 Department Heads shall be responsible for ensuring that the garbage is collected,
processed, stored in labeled containers, and disposed of properly. These
Department Heads shall also be responsible to ensure that their crew members
understand the regulation(s) and the rig’s GMP.

6.3 Appropriate members of each department are trained and assigned for the
purposes of operating waste handling equipment.

The Master/Offshore Installation Manager/Man in Charge should obtain from the

operator of port reception facilities, or from the master of the ship receiving the
garbage, a receipt or certificate specifying the estimated amount of garbage
transferred. The receipts or certificates must be kept onboard the rig with the
Garbage Record Book for two years.

4.3 Amount of garbage

The amount of garbage onboard should be estimated in M3, if possible separately

according to category. The Garbage Record Book contains many references to
estimated amount of garbage. It is recognized that the accuracy of estimating
amounts of garbage is left to interpretation. Volume estimates will differ before
and after processing. Some processing procedures may not allow for a usable
estimate of volume, e.g., the continuous processing of food waste. Such factors
should be taken into consideration when making and interpreting entries made in
a record.
