Oily Water Separation Systems

The Coast Guard has established the Oily Water Separation Systems Task Force to examine a wide range of issues relating to machinery and equipment used to manage oily bilge water on commercial vessels. The task force plans to assess the operational requirements, reliability, and capability of oily water separators in actual operating environments; identify ways to improve the Coast Guard's inspection and evaluation of oily water separation systems; and develop recommendations for the maritime industry on how to reach its environmental goals and ensure compliance with the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) and the Clean Water Act. Your answers to this questionnaire will help the task force gather the necessary information to meet these objectives.
