Part C – Control of Operational Discharge of Oil

Regulation 15 – Control of Discharge of Oil
Subject to provisions of regulation 4 of this annex and paragraphs 2, 3 and 6 of this regulation, any discharge into the sea of oil or oily mixtures from ships shall be prohibited.
1. Based on the Part- C Control of Operation discharge of Oil. What are the significance if these regulations are strictly followed by every concerned party.
Several important effects might be anticipated if all parties involved closely adhere to these restrictions on the management of operational discharge of oil. First off, oil or oily
combination pollution would be prevented from harming aquatic ecosystems and biodiversity by protecting the maritime environment. Second, the restrictions would protect the
natural beauty and recreational value of coastal regions, beaches, and shorelines by maintaining their integrity and health. Thirdly, a ban on oil discharges would lessen the
likelihood of oil spills, lowering the possibility of accidents and the ensuing economic, social, and environmental effects. Fourthly, adhering to the rules would improve the
reputation and credibility of the parties involved and show their dedication to sustainability and environmental care. The restrictions would also help the world's efforts to achieve
sustainable development objectives relating to climate change, marine conservation, and ethical resource management.
2. Discuss what is your opinion about the following,

a. Discharge outside Special Areas
Environmental issues arise when oil or oily mixes are discharged outside of Special Areas. Animal life and marine ecosystems may suffer long-lasting harm as a result of its
damaging impacts. Such spills may cause oil slicks on the water's surface, covering marine animals' fur and seabirds' feathers, making it difficult for them to fly, swim, or regulate
their body temperature. Additionally, the oil has the ability to permeate the water column, harming fish, shellfish, and other aquatic species and causing disruptions in their
migratory, breeding, and eating habits. Additionally, the buildup of oil in sediments has the potential to damage benthic creatures and upset the delicate balance of marine
environments. To protect marine ecosystems and preserve the general health of our seas, it is essential to tightly restrict and prohibit the discharge of oil or oily mixes beyond
Special Areas in light of these possible effects.
b. Antarctic area
Due to its unique biological features and delicate environment, the Antarctic region is of great value and should be given special consideration and preservation. It serves as an
essential scientific laboratory for researching climate change, biodiversity, and the effects of human activity because it is one of the most pristine and unexplored areas on Earth.
Given its isolation and challenging environment, any disruption or pollution introduction might have long-lasting and permanent effects. To maintain the integrity of this pristine
ecosystem and guarantee responsible and sustainable use of its resources, it is crucial to enforce stringent laws and international agreements, such as the Antarctic Treaty
System and the Protocol on Environmental Protection. To protect the Antarctic region for future generations and to further our understanding of the natural systems that govern
the globe, international collaboration and coordinated efforts are essential.
c. Oil content of the effluent without dilution does not exceed 15 ppm
To reduce the negative effects of oil discharges on the environment, it is imperative to set a limit of 15 ppm (parts per million) for the oil concentration of effluent without dilution.
This cap guarantees that the water evacuated has a low oil content, minimizing possible damage to marine ecosystems. The rule, which imposes this limitation, encourages the
use of efficient oil separation technology and treatment systems on ships while promoting ethical and sustainable practices in the marine industry. It also encourages industry
participants to implement safer and more effective operating procedures to stop oil contamination. Strict adherence to the 15 ppm guideline shows a dedication to environmental
stewardship and aids in preserving the standard and wellbeing of our seas.
3. Implementing the MARPOL Annex I on vessel, as required by authority Crew members try to familiarize the SOPEP locker? If yes or no, why?
Yes, as part of adopting MARPOL Annex I on a ship, crew members must get familiar with the Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plan (SOPEP) locker. The SOPEP locker is
stocked with the required tools, paperwork, and supplies for a successful response to accidents or crises involving oil pollution. Crew members may locate spill response tools
including oil containment and recovery systems, dispersants, and personal protective equipment by becoming familiar with the SOPEP locker. They can also become acquainted with
the SOPEP's contents, such as the list of emergency contacts, the communication standards, and the detailed steps to be taken in the case of an oil leak. Crew members who are
educated with the SOPEP locker can respond quickly and effectively to an oil pollution incident, minimizing any possible operational and environmental effects and guaranteeing
regulatory compliance.
