2016 Environmental Report - 14
ADVANCED WASTEWATER
TREATMENT
To treat wastewater on board, all of our vessels are equipped with wastewater
treatment systems. Wastewater is run through these systems and treated prior
to discharge, resulting in effluent that meets or exceeds international sewage
regulations and many municipal wastewater facility standards. Vessels built after
2001 have been installed with advanced wastewater purification systems (AWPs),
and our newest vessels are equipped with the leading AWP technology that
meets the new stringent Baltic Standards.
Currently, 92 percent of our vessels are equipped with AWPs and we are continuing
to evaluate possible upgrades for the remaining vessels. To ensure AWP system
functionality, every vessel's wastewater is tested quarterly by a third party.
Additionally, our Environmental Officers test effluent at least once a week using an
onboard lab. Any results not meeting requirements are brought to the attention of
the corporate office and, if necessary, discharges are suspended.
CLEAN BILGE
Wastewater collected in machinery and engine spaces is known as bilge water.
Collected bilge water is held in storage tanks but can only be discharged after
meeting international, national, and company regulations. To ensure compliance,
all vessels are equipped with an automatic stopping device and an oil content
meter, which work to confirm the vessel's compliance. This equipment will
analyze and record the oil content of the bilge. If the bilge water does not meet
these requirements, discharging is automatically stopped and the bilge water is
recirculated until these standards are met. The remaining bilge water that cannot
be discharged is collected and landed ashore to an approved vendor.
