🔍 Key Concepts

• Bilge water composition in an engine room • What MARPOL/USCG rules are trying to keep out of the sea • Typical ratio of water to oil in bilge slops

💭 Think About

• On a normal vessel, which liquid is present in larger quantity in the bilge: water or oil? • Is an oily-water separator mainly protecting the sea from oil, or recovering fuel for reuse? • If you pumped directly overboard after separation, which component must be reduced to a very tiny amount to stay legal?

✅ Before You Answer

• Remember that bilge tanks mostly collect water contaminated with oil, not the other way around • Think about discharge limits in ppm (parts per million): this refers to oil in water, not water in oil • Match the answer choice that describes a lot of one liquid with a little of the other, where the “little” part is the pollutant you’re trying to control
