Cleaning waste sits under oily residue controls
Sludge and oily mixtures from cargo tank cleaning are not an afterthought. Under MARPOL Annex I thinking, oily waste must be retained, transferred and documented through approved channels — not casually discharged.
What operations should plan
- Estimated sludge / slop volumes before mobilisation
- Segregation from incompatible streams
- Licensed reception / disposal partners
- Records that match the cleaning scope
Our waste disposal guide and sludge handling article cover the practical side. Services: sludge & waste disposal.
