APPLICATION
Bilge water is water drained from vessel decks or machinery spaces that may have come into contact with oil. This is discharged through an OIW under MEPC.107(49).
Bilge water is a mixture of water, oil, and other substances that collects in a ship’s bilge—the lowest compartment of the vessel. It often contains residues from leaks or cleaning processes within machinery spaces.
To maintain environmental standards, bilge water must be treated and discharged carefully, following the MEPC.107(49) regulations.
Investing in state-of-the-art monitoring equipment is a critical step toward sustainable and responsible maritime operations.
