15 Oil and oily mixtures from machinery spaces
15.1 The PSCO may determine if all operational requirements of Annex I of MARPOL have been met, taking into account:
-
.1 the quantity of oil residues generated;
-
.2 the capacity of sludge and bilge water holding tank; and
-
.3 the capacity of the oily water separator.
15.2 An inspection of the Oil Record Book should be made. The PSCO may determine if reception facilities have been used and note any alleged inadequacy of such facilities.
15.3 The PSCO may determine whether the responsible officer is familiar with the handling of sludge and bilge water. The relevant items from the guidelines for systems for handling oily wastes in machinery spaces of ships may be used as guidance. Taking into account the above, the PSCO may determine if the ullage of the sludge tank is sufficient for the expected generated sludge during the next intended voyage. The PSCO may verify that, in respect of ships for which the Administration has waived the requirements of regulations 14(1) and (2) of MARPOL Annex I, all oily bilge water is retained on board for subsequent discharge to a reception facility.
15.4 When reception facilities in other ports have not been used because of inadequacy, the PSCO should advise the master to report the inadequacy of the reception facility to the ship's flag State, in conformity with the Revised consolidated format for reporting alleged inadequacy of port reception facilities (MEPC/Circ.349 of November 1998).
