Waste Oil Disposal
Our goal is to help marine vessels handle waste oil and sludge in a manner that minimizes environmental impact, meets regulatory standards, and supports long-term sustainability.
The Importance of Proper Waste Oil and Sludge Disposal
Both waste oil and sludges are inevitable byproducts of the operations onboard marine vessels, including engine lubrication, machinery, and other critical systems. Improper disposal or handling of these substances can result in severe environmental consequences such as:
-
Water Contamination: Waste oil and sludge, if discharged improperly into the ocean, contaminate marine ecosystems, harming aquatic life and degrading water quality.
-
Soil and Air Pollution: Inadequate disposal practices can lead to oil leaks that seep into the soil or harmful emissions from the improper burning of waste oil.
-
Health Hazards: Waste oil and sludge often contain hazardous chemicals, heavy metals, and toxins that pose a risk to both human health and marine life.
To mitigate these risks, it is crucial for vessels to adopt effective and environmentally responsible disposal systems for waste oil and sludge, in line with MARPOL Annex I and IMO regulations, which govern the disposal of oily waste in marine environments.
Evolve Automation Solutions offers comprehensive waste oil and sludge disposal services that are designed to make the maritime industry safer, more efficient, and more sustainable. We ensure that waste oil and sludge are handled responsibly, in compliance with global environmental regulations, and with minimal impact on the ecosystem.
