The Oil Discharge Monitoring System has been designed to provide means of monitoring,
recording and controlling the slop/ ballast discharge in accordance with the requirements of MEPC.108(49) and is
also approved for Bio Fuel Blends in accordance with MEPC.1/Circ.761.
Discharge limits are set at 30 litres per nautical mile and a total discharge expressed as a proportion of the previous
cargo for dirty ballast.
The requirements of the MARPOL Convention are that all oil tankers with a gross tonnage of 150 GRT and above
must have an oil discharge monitoring and control system installed with an automatic overboard valve control
system.
The requirements in Resolution MEPC.108(49) apply to tankers with a date of keel laying or equivalent stage of
construction of 1st of January 2005 or later.
