ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE
MARPOL
founded in 1973 / 78, it governs all grey / black water / wastage when not at war
-
Oily Water
Within 12 NM MARPOL states the ship must be underway, not discharge more than 15 ppm and have an approved filtration & monitoring and control system
Over 12 NM MARPOL states the ship must be underway, not discharge more than 15 ppm and have an approved filtration system
Special areas include the Baltic, North West European, Medditeranean, Black, Gulf / Gulf of Aden and Carribbean sea
In special areas MARPOL states the ship must be underway, not discharge more than 15 ppm and have an approved filtration & monitoring and control system
-
Sources of Contamination
Bilges, fuel & oil systems and the CPP are all sources of contamination
to minimise oil leaks into the bilge we must keep machinery spotless, monitor lub oil ready use tanks, use shoreside facilites, man eductors when in use and use no surfactants, only AFF can be used in a real fire
It is your responsibility to folllow protocol, any incidents must be reported to the MEOOD / MEOOW
Black Water
defined as waste from WC's, Urinals, Scuppers, Medical compartments and any water mixed with this waste
-
Within 4 to 12 NM MARPOL states discharge is only permitted if an IMO approved system is in place to comminute and disinfect sewage is in operation
-
VPS
a vacuum system is used as it has less moving parts, and uses diesel / electric pumps and hoses / manifolds to collect all black and grey waste and collect / pump it to the nearest shore facility
It's use is determined by ship size and length of stay, under 72 hours contractors may be used, over 72 hours a team of 20 ME's must deploy the VPS system, a job which takes approx 3 hours and is overseen by the Hull SR
Grey Water
defined as waste from bathrooms, galleys, dishwashers, laundries, sinks
There are no regulations at sea, as problems or when entering / leaving port
