What are the conditions for discharging oil or oily mixtures from machinery space bilges outside special areas?
- The ship is proceeding en route. - The oily mixture is processed through oil filtering equipment. - The oil content of the effluent without dilution does not exceed 15 ppm. - The oily mixture does not originate from cargo pump-room bilges on oil tankers. - The oily mixture, in the case of oil tankers, is not mixed with oil cargo residues.
27
What restrictions apply to discharging oil or oily mixtures in special areas according to MARPOL Annex I?
The discharge is prohibited unless: - The ship is proceeding en route. - The oily mixture is processed through oil filtering equipment. - The oil content without dilution does not exceed 15 ppm. - The oily mixture does not originate from cargo pump-room bilges on oil tankers. - The mixture is not mixed with oil cargo residues.
