Streamline MARPOL pollution prevention compliance with automated waste logging, discharge monitoring and digital record book management. Maintain regulatory adherence across all six MARPOL annexes covering oil, sewage, garbage, air emissions and ballast water management.
Ballast Water Management: BWMS certificate valid • Records current
Comprehensive pollution compliance for vessel operators, environmental officers and fleet managers — every discharge documented, every record book current.
Automated bilge water discharge logging with GPS coordinates, weather conditions and flow meter readings. Digital Oil Record Book Part I compliance for machinery space operations, bilge pumping and oily water separator maintenance per MARPOL Annex I.
Complete sludge and waste oil tracking from generation to disposal. Digital documentation of oily residue transfers to shore reception facilities, incineration records and tank cleaning operations with automatic calculations ensuring Annex I compliance.
Comprehensive garbage record book management for MARPOL Annex V. Track food waste, domestic waste, cooking oil, operational waste, cargo residues and plastics with discharge location verification based on distance from shore and special area restrictions.
MarineInspection tracks compliance across all six MARPOL annexes covering prevention of pollution by oil (Annex I), noxious liquid substances (Annex II), harmful packaged substances (Annex III), sewage (Annex IV), garbage (Annex V) and air pollution including sulfur emissions and energy efficiency (Annex VI). The system maintains equipment checklists, operating parameter tracking, maintenance requirements and complete documentation for each annex.
Automated compliance monitoring with regulatory deadline alerts
Every machinery space operation is logged digitally — oily water separator activity, 15 ppm verification, bilge discharge positions, sludge tank operations and bunkering. Automated checks compare each planned discharge with the vessel's position and equipment status, preventing non-compliant entries and maintaining a complete, audit-ready Oil Record Book for Port State Control.
Non-compliant discharges blocked before they happen
Garbage Record Books track all vessel-generated waste per MARPOL Annex V — plastics, food waste, domestic waste, cooking oil, incinerator ashes, operational waste, cargo residues and animal carcasses. MarineInspection automates garbage logging with waste category selection, estimated amounts, discharge methods and location verification — alerting crew when discharge is prohibited and calculating proper disposal methods based on vessel position, special areas and distance from land.
Complete audit trails reduce risk of MARPOL violations and fines
Environmental compliance that is automatic, verifiable and always inspection-ready.
Automates all MARPOL annexes — Annex I (oil pollution), Annex II (noxious liquids), Annex III (packaged harmful substances), Annex IV (sewage), Annex V (garbage) and Annex VI (air emissions and energy efficiency).
When Port State Control officers board, crew instantly retrieve oil record books, garbage record books, ballast water record books, MARPOL documentation and maintenance records from cloud storage.
Automated compliance calendars calculate renewal dates from last survey dates and operational requirements, with alerts 90, 60 and 30 days before environmental certificates expire.
Common questions about MARPOL waste management and pollution compliance.
MarineInspection digitally records all MARPOL waste discharge operations, including OWS activity, 15 ppm verification, bilge discharge positions, tank operations and shore disposal. Automated checks prevent non-compliant discharges and maintain complete audit-ready logs for inspections.
Digital entries are validated as they are made — quantities cross-checked against tank capacities, positions recorded automatically from GPS and required fields enforced — eliminating the entry errors and gaps that PSC officers look for in paper record books. Every entry is timestamped and traceable, producing a consistent, tamper-evident record.
Yes. The system knows the vessel's position and the boundaries of MARPOL special areas. When garbage discharge is prohibited it alerts the crew, calculates permitted disposal methods for each waste category based on distance from land and logs every disposal with location verification for the Garbage Record Book.
It tracks IAPP certificate validity, fuel oil sulphur content documentation, NOx technical files, fuel changeover records for emission control areas and fuel oil data collection for annual GHG and IMO DCS reporting — with alerts for upcoming reporting deadlines like the fuel oil sulphur report and annual emissions submissions.
Stop paper logbooks and manual waste tracking. Connect your vessels to MarineInspection for automated oil record books, digital garbage logs and comprehensive MARPOL compliance management.
