October 2020 Re: Regulated Garbage - Marpol Class B refuse

Dear Captains,

Per U.S. Department of Agriculture regulation, all Marpol Class B food wastes put ashore in the U.S. Virgin Islands is considered Regulated Garbage and must be incinerated to ash. This includes not only food wastes, but also any other waste potentially contaminated with food wastes, such as cartons, crates or packaging. This regulation applies to all food wastes put shore from vessels who have visited a foreign port in the last 24 months, regardless of where the food wastes were actually provisioned. See attachment below for more details and definitions. Fortunately, Yacht Haven Grande has the ability to incinerate large amounts of Regulated Garbage on site. This service is provided dockside during normal business hours. However, the responsibility is on the yacht and crew to identify Regulated Garbage (Class B) to the dock hands so they can dispose of it properly. Please note that Yacht Haven Grande WILL NOT certify a record of removal of Class B refuse unless it has been identified for incineration by the yacht and then incinerated by YHG staff per government regulated procedure. There is an additional cost for refuse incineration due to fuel requirements. Please contact me directly if you have any questions or concerns about this policy.

Best Regards,

Phil Blake General Manager, Yacht Haven Grande Marina E: MarinaStaff@IGYMarinas.com 0: +1 (954) 960 3973 (Direct)

If your web browser will not display the CBP form, simply download the form to view and complete it. 7. Foreign-flagged yachts arriving directly from a USA or Puerto Rican port to the USVI must submit USCBP forms 1300 (this can be done via the YHG office, or through your appointed agent – captain does not need to present in person). 8. The yacht’s registration/documentation must be accurate and up to date, including clearance from last port. 9. All passengers/guests must have valid, up-to-date passports with at least six months’ validity. 10. I-94s are no longer required for foreign visitors. 11. All non-USA crew must have a valid B1 (business visa), B1/B2 combination visa, or a C1/D combination visa. 12. Non-USA guest arrivals (note: generally, guests cannot arrive by yacht for the first arrival – unless they have a B1 or B2 visa): i. CAUTION: for foreign guests’ first arrival into the US/USVI, approved ESTA holders must enter on a commercial signatory carrier – examples of CSIs include airlines, ferries from the BVI, and NetJets. ii. nationals of a VWP (Visa Waiver Program) country must apply online for an ESTA no less than 72 hours prior to intended entry date – https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov . iii. Guests who don’t qualify for an ESTA/VWP country, must have a B2 visa. 13. For yachts departing USVI waters to enter the BVI, port departure clearance is not required for the BVI authorities. 14. For yachts departing USVI waters to any other foreign port (besides BVI), port departure clearance is required. Any guests arriving via air should have their information added to the 418 form prior to their departure via yacht. 15. There are no restrictions to which country the yacht is registered (flag) if its registration and documentation are accurate and up to date. Certain exceptions apply - namely, ‘countries of interest’ (e.g. Iran). 16. USVI waters’ do NOT require a U.S. Cruising Permit. Puerto Rican waters require a U.S. Cruising Permit: the permit can be applied for upon arrival in Puerto Rico, or other US ports. You may not apply for a US Cruising Permit in the USVI. 17. Regulated Garbage (RG): garbage generated aboard a vessel is considered RG when the vessel has been to any port outside of the U.S. and Canada within the previous two-year period or been to a port in Hawaii, Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands within the previous one- year period. RG must be disposed at an RG-approved site. Dumping of foreign garbage into U.S Territorial waters or non-designated garbage receptacles is illegal, and under Federal laws subject to fines.
