As global shipping continues to expand, the responsibility to protect marine ecosystems has never been greater. Stricter environmental regulations now demand that fleets operate responsibly while maintaining efficiency. One solution that has become vital for achieving both goals is the Brannstrom Bilgmon 488, a state-of-the-art bilge monitoring system designed to ensure compliance with international standards. Supported by the expertise of RMS Marine Service, this system is helping shipowners safeguard oceans while keeping their fleets fully compliant.
Why Bilge Monitoring Matters
Every vessel produces bilge water, a mix of water, oil, and other contaminants that accumulate in the lower parts of the ship. If not treated properly, discharging bilge water into the ocean can cause serious environmental harm. International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulations, particularly MARPOL Annex I, set strict limits on oil content in discharged water.
Failure to comply not only results in heavy fines and vessel detention but also damages the reputation of shipping companies. This is why advanced monitoring systems like the Brannstrom Bilgmon 488 are essential.
