What must ocean going vessels of 100 GT to 400 GT be fitted with for oily mixtures?

🔍 Key Concepts

• MARPOL / 46 CFR oily water discharge requirements for small ocean-going vessels (100–400 GT) • Difference between overboard discharge and transfer to shore reception facilities • Meaning of fixed system vs portable system on a ship

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: For vessels between 100 and 400 GT, are they normally required to treat and pump oily mixtures overboard at sea, or mainly to retain and send them ashore? • Think about safety and pollution control: which is generally more strictly controlled—direct overboard discharge or transfer to a reception facility? • Consider what "fixed" tells you about how permanently installed and ready the equipment must be on an ocean‑going vessel of this size.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether regulations prioritize shore reception facilities over direct overboard discharge for smaller ocean‑going vessels. • Check if the requirement is for a permanently installed (fixed) arrangement on board, or if portable equipment is allowed to satisfy the rule for 100–400 GT vessels. • Confirm whether the system is meant to handle oily mixtures in general, not just "slops" from a particular tank or space.
