Q

What equipment is required when processing bilge slops for overboard discharge?

🔍 Key Concepts

• MARPOL Annex I requirements for oily bilge water discharges • The maximum oil content (in PPM) allowed in overboard discharges from machinery‑space bilges • The role of an oily water separator versus an oil content/discharge monitor

💭 Think About

• Think about the current international legal limit for oil content (in PPM) when discharging machinery‑space bilge water overboard while underway. • Ask yourself which options include BOTH a device to separate oil from water AND a device to continuously check/record the oil content of the discharge. • Consider whether using a lube oil purifier as a substitute meets specific equipment and certification requirements for pollution prevention equipment.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the legal PPM limit for oil in bilge water discharges under MARPOL/33 CFR before choosing. • Check which answer choices include a certified oily water separator AND an oil content/discharge monitoring device. • Make sure the PPM value you select matches what is required for machinery‑space bilge water (not cargo tank washings or other mixtures).
