C For all ships

 Prewash procedures for persistent floaters to which regulation 13.7.1.4 of Annex II of MARPOL applies

Persistent floaters with a viscosity equal to or greater than 50 mPaˇs at 20ēC and/or a melting point equal to or greater than 0ēC, shall be treated as solidifying or high-viscosity substances for the purposes of the prewash.

Where it is determined that the use of small amounts of cleaning additives would improve and maximize the removal of cargo residues during a prewash, then this should be done in consultation and with prior agreement from the reception facility.
