1. The Government of each Party to the Convention undertakes to ensure the provision of reception facilities according to the needs of ships using its ports, terminals or repair ports as follows:
.1 ports and terminals involved in ships’ cargo handling shall have adequate facilities for the reception of residues and mixtures containing such residues of Noxious Liquid Substances resulting from compliance with this Annex, without undue delay for the ships involved.

The Government of each Party participating in the arrangement shall consult with the Organization for circulation to the Parties of the present Convention:

3. The following States may satisfy the requirements in paragraphs 1, 2 and 6 of this regulation through regional arrangements when, because of those States’ unique circumstances, such arrangements are the only practical means to satisfy these requirements:
.1 small island developing States; and
.2 States the coastline of which borders on Arctic waters, provided that regional arrangements shall cover only ports within Arctic waters of those States.
Parties participating in a regional arrangement shall develop a Regional Reception Facilities Plan, taking into account the guidelines developed by the Organization.
The Government of each Party participating in the arrangement shall consult with the Organization, for circulation to the Parties of the present Convention on:
.1 how the Regional Reception Facilities Plan takes into account the guidelines developed by the Organization;
