Environmental Stewardship
Guidelines for Oily Waste Pollution Prevention Plans
Goal of guidelines: to assist ship owners and operators in improving shoreside & shipboard environmental management and developing specific and detailed pollution prevention plans for managing, operating and maintaining shipboard oily waste treatment systems ----
– in essence, to help the ship owner be successful in managing his oily waste.
