What must Inland vessels of 100 GT and over...

🔍 Key Concepts

• Oily mixtures handling requirements for Inland vessels in 46 CFR (especially for vessels 100 gross tons and over). • Difference between fixed and portable systems on board a vessel. • Where oily mixtures/slops are normally required to go: overboard vs. shore reception facility under pollution-prevention rules.

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Are regulations for oily mixtures on larger vessels (100 GT and over) generally designed to make it easier or harder to discharge oil directly overboard? • Think about which type of system (fixed vs portable) is more likely to be required by regulation on a larger vessel to ensure consistent pollution control. • Consider: Do pollution-prevention rules tend to favor discharge to the sea or to a shore-based reception facility when it comes to oily mixtures from machinery spaces?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR that 100 GT and over triggers a more stringent, permanent arrangement rather than a temporary or portable one. • Check whether regulations emphasize discharge to a reception facility instead of direct discharge overboard for oily mixtures. • Confirm that the requirement is specifically for oily mixtures, not just clean water or ballast, and match that to the appropriate option.
