船舶挂靠中国港口的会员请注意，中国对于国际远洋船舶清理船上污染物的相关规定，自2011年2月起生效，并于2013年进行了修订，该规定要求船舶在驶离中国港口前应向海事管理机构出示有效的污染物接收证明(PDC)。据协会通代中国华泰保险经纪的报告，中国交通运输部已正式公布，上述要求不再强制执行，最新相关修订自2016年12月13日起施行，也就是，船舶出示污染物接受证明的要求已被取消。

China – Sludge and garbage disposal
Members calling at Chinese ports will be aware of PRC Regulations, effective since February 2011 and amended in 2013, that require international ocean-going vessels to dispose of pollutants on board and to present a valid Pollutant Disposal Certificate (PDC) to the China Maritime Safety Administration prior to departing China. The Correspondent, Huatai Insurance Agency and Consultant Service Limited, China, reports that as of 13 December 2016 the Chinese Ministry of Transport has issued a formal notice that disposal is no longer mandatory, so that the requirement to present a PDC has been abolished.
