Category X substances pose major hazards, Category Y pose hazards, Category Z pose minor hazards, and other substances pose no hazards. The annex sets discharge standards for tank cleaning based on the substance categories and requires new ships constructed after 2007 to leave no more than 75 liters of residue in tanks.

    MARPOL ANNEX II

    MARPOL Annex II - Carriage of noxious liquid substances in bulk


    MARPOL Annex II Regulations for the control of pollution by noxious liquid substances in bulk sets
    out a pollution categorization system for noxious and liquid substances. The four categories are:
     Category X: Noxious Liquid Substances which, if discharged into the sea from tank cleaning
    or deballasting operations, are deemed to present a major hazard to either marine
    resources or human health and, therefore, justify the prohibition of the discharge into the
    marine environment;
     Category Y: Noxious Liquid Substances which, if discharged into the sea from tank cleaning
    or deballasting operations, are deemed to present a hazard to either marine resources or
    human health or cause harm to amenities or other legitimate uses of the sea and therefore
    justify a limitation on the quality and quantity of the discharge into the marine
    environment;
     Category Z: Noxious Liquid Substances which, if discharged into the sea from tank cleaning
    or deballasting operations, are deemed to present a minor hazard to either marine
    resources or human health and therefore justify less stringent restrictions on the quality and
    quantity of the discharge into the marine environment; and
     Other Substances: Substances which have been evaluated and found to fall outside Category
    X, Y or Z because they are considered to present no harm to marine resources, human
    health, amenities or other legitimate uses of the sea when discharged into the sea from tank
    cleaning of deballasting operations. The discharge of bilge or ballast water or other residues
    or mixtures containing these substances are not subject to any requirements of MARPOL
    Annex II.
    The annex also includes a number of other requirements reflecting modern stripping techniques,
    which specify discharge levels for products which have been incorporated into Annex II. For ships
    constructed on or after 1 January 2007 the maximum permitted residue in the tank and its
    associated piping left after discharge is set at a maximum of 75 litres for products in categories X, Y
    and Z (compared with previous limits which set a maximum of 100 or 300 litres, depending on the
    product category).
