The Challenge of Human Error
MARPOL Annex I compliance faces intense scrutiny. Despite training, human error remains a risk, leading to fines, reputational damage, operational delays, and legal issues. Traditional paper documentation and manual monitoring increase this risk.
Vulnerabilities in MARPOL Compliance
Common issues include:
- Errors in Oil Record Books entries
- Poor engine room maintenance
- Inadequate Oily Water Separator maintenance
- Neglected Oil Content Meter maintenance
- Insufficient crew training
