 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.

Environmental Stewardship
 Guidelines for Oily Waste Pollution Prevention Plans
- Specific company policy on the storage, treatment and
disposal of oily waste and bilge water management;
- Ship-specific instructions for: 1) determining waste
streams (volume and type) and; 2) a routine budget
process to account for wastes generated and include
environmental compliance and maintenance expenses;
