Waste Management

Waste management in the commercial marine industry is vital for minimizing environmental impact. Ships generate various types of waste, including oily bilge water, sewage, garbage, and hazardous substances. International regulations, such as MARPOL, govern waste disposal at sea, requiring ships to treat, store, or dispose of waste properly. Water treatment systems on board, like sewage plants, and oily water separators, help manage waste before discharge by pumps to port facilities.
