A new ocean going ship of 2000 gross tons having an inoperative oily water separator may dispose of its bilge slops by ______.
• MARPOL Annex I requirements for discharge of oily mixtures from machinery spaces • Differences between onboard treatment vs shore reception facilities • Limitations on discharging oily mixtures into sewers or coastal waters
• Which options would still risk oily contamination entering the sea if the oily water separator is inoperative? • For a new oceangoing ship of 2000 GT, what does MARPOL generally expect you to do with oily bilge slops when you cannot legally treat and discharge them at sea? • Think about which options describe a controlled, regulated disposal versus an improvised or prohibited method.
• Verify which method(s) clearly avoid pumping oily mixtures overboard when you cannot properly treat them on board. • Check MARPOL Annex I for requirements about using shore reception facilities for oily residues and bilge slops. • Confirm that disposal to a city sewer or any unapproved system is generally prohibited for ship-generated oily waste.
