The Marine Environment Depends on Everyone, And The Disposal of Ship Waste Should Not Be Taken Lightly!

•What is ship garbage?

"Ship garbage" refers to all food waste, domestic waste, and operational waste generated during normal ship operations that require continuous or regular disposal, including all plastics, cargo residues, incinerator ash, cooking oil, animal carcasses, and electronic waste. This does not include drainage from kitchen washing, bathing, laundry, or washbasin drains.

•How should ships properly dispose of ship waste?

Plastic waste, used cooking oil, domestic waste, incinerator ash, abandoned fishing gear, and electronic waste should be collected and discharged into reception facilities in all sea areas.

•What environmental protection equipment are currently available on ships?

Sewage Treatment Equipment

• Shipboard sewage, like household sewage, primarily originates from toilets, bathrooms, and kitchens. Toilet drains are called black water, while kitchen and bathroom drains are called gray water.

• This equipment primarily treats black water. 

Oil-Water Separator

• Bilge water is treated and then discharged overboard.

• The treated water's oil content is no higher than 15 ppm (15 mg/L). A 15 ppm oil concentration alarm is installed, automatically triggering an alarm if the discharge water exceeds 15 ppm.

Incinerators

Ship incinerators are primarily used to incinerate solid waste and oily sludge on board ships.

The marine environment depends on everyone!
