Oil pollution
(work for a gas carrier)
Formats for reporting oil pollution and when to report are contained in the ship's approved oil pollution emergency plan. SOPEP must be used by all ships operating worldwide.
All vessels operating in US waters MUST use a USCG approved Non-Tanker Vessel Response Plan.
All ships transiting or calling at Panama must use the Panama Canal SOPEP.
Inadequate reception facilities for oil residues, etc.
The Master of a ship who is faced with a shortage of reception facilities or reception facilities that are not suitable for any of these categories of waste must directly provide the Company with the relevant details of the non-compliance.
Where possible, it would be helpful to those providing receiving facilities if, before making such a report, the master brought the alleged inadequacy to the attention of the appropriate port authority or the relevant terminal operator. Then he will only need to make a report if the problem cannot be solved at that time(work on the gas carrier).
The Company will evaluate each report received and, if in its opinion the allegation of inadequate facilities is justified, it will inform the flag State of the alleged inadequacy.
Wastewater discharge
Untreated sewage shall not be discharged from a reservoir unless the vessel is more than 12 miles from land and in transit.
Wastewater from an approved comminution and disinfection system is discharged unless the vessel is more than 4 miles from land.
there should not be (a robot on a gas carrier)
Liquid sewage from ships with treatment facilities of approved specifications may be discharged less than 4 miles from land, but sludge must be discharged at least 12 miles from land.
Extreme care must be taken to ensure that when wastewater is discharged there is no possibility of wastewater entering the seawater inlets for freshwater generators. If there is any possibility of this, the FW generator should be stopped while the wastewater tank is being unloaded.
