    MEPC .295(71) further clarifies that placards as required by regulation 10.1 of MARPOL Annex V shall contain a summary declaration stating the prohibition and restrictions for discharging garbage from ships under the Annex and the possible penalties for failure to comply. The declaration should be placed on a placard at least 12.5 cm by 20 cm, made of durable material and fixed in conspicuous and prominent places on board the ship. Placards should be replaced when damage or wear compromises the readability of the declaration. The placards should be placed in prominent places where crew will be working and living and in areas where bins are placed for collection of garbage. These places include galley spaces, mess room(s), wardroom, bridge, main deck and other areas of the ship, as appropriate. The placards should be displayed at line of sight height and be printed in the working language of the crew. Ships which operate internationally will also have placards printed in English, French or Spanish, in accordance with regulation 10.1.2 of MARPOL Annex V. Where the ship carries passengers, placards also should be placed in prominent places where passengers are accommodated and congregate. These include cabins and all deck areas for recreational purposes open to passengers.
