    This document outlines regulations for the control of operational discharge of oil from ships. It prohibits the discharge of oil or oily mixtures from ships over 400 gross tonnage outside special areas, except under specific conditions such as the ship proceeding en route and the oil content of the effluent not exceeding 15 ppm. For special areas, including the Antarctic area, the discharge of any oil or oily mixtures is prohibited. Ships under 400 gross tonnage must either retain oil and oily mixtures on board or discharge in accordance with conditions limiting effluent to 15 ppm oil content. Governments are directed to investigate visible traces of oil observed near ships. Hazardous chemicals added to effluents or for circumvent

    Part C – Control of operational discharge of oil

    Regulation 15
    Control of discharge of oil

    A Discharges outside special areas

    2 Any discharge into the sea of oil or oily mixtures from ships of 400 gross
    tonnage and above shall be prohibited except when all the following
    conditions are satisfied:

    .1 the ship is proceeding en route


    .2 the oily mixture is processed through an oil filtering equipment meeting
    the requirements of regulation 14 of this Annex;
    .3 the oil content of the effluent without dilution does not exceed 15 ppm;
    .4 the oily mixture does not originate from cargo pump-room bilges on oil
    tankers; and
    .5 the oily mixture, in case of oil tankers, is not mixed with oil cargo
    residues.

    B Discharges in special areas

    3 Any discharge into the sea of oil or oily mixtures from ships of 400 gross
    tonnage and above shall be prohibited except when all of the following
    conditions are satisfied:
    .1 the ship is proceeding enroute;
    .2 the oily mixture is processed through an oil filtering equipment meeting
    the requirements of regulation 14.7 of this Annex;
    .3 the oil content of the effluent without dilution does not exceed 15 ppm;
    .4 the oily mixture does not originate from cargo pump-room bilges on oil
    tankers; and
    .5 the oily mixture, in case of oil tankers, is not mixed with oil cargo
    residues.
    4 In respect of the Antarctic area, any discharge into the sea of oil or oily
    mixtures from any ship shall be prohibited.
    5 Nothing in this regulation shall prohibit a ship on a voyage only part of
    which is in a special area from discharging outside a special area in
    accordance with paragraph 2 of this regulation.

    C Requirements for ships of less than 400 gross tonnage in all areas except the Antarctic area

    6 In the case of a ship of less than 400 gross tonnage, oil and all oily
    mixtures shall either be retained on board for subsequent discharge to
    reception facilities or discharged into the sea in accordance with the
    following provisions:
    .1 .2
    the ship is proceeding en route;
    the ship has in operation equipment of a design approved by the
    Administration that ensures that
    the oil content of the effluent without dilution does not exceed 15 ppm;

    Regulations 16, 17
    .3 the oily mixture does not originate from cargo pump-room bilges on oil
    tankers; and
    .4 the oily mixture, in case of oil tankers, is not mixed with oil cargo
    residues.
    D General requirements
    7 Whenever visible traces of oil are observed on or below the surface of
    the water in the immediate vicinity of a ship or its wake, Governments of
    Parties to the present Convention should, to the extent they are
    reasonably able to do so, promptly investigate the facts bearing on the
    issue of whether there has been a violation of the provisions of this
    regulation. The investigation should include, in particular, the wind and
    sea conditions, the track and speed of the ship, other possible sources of
    the visible traces in the vicinity, and any relevant oil discharge records.
    8 No discharge into the sea shall contain chemicals or other substances in
    quantities or concentrations which are hazardous to the marine
    environment or chemicals or other substances introduced for the purpose
    of circumventing the conditions of discharge specified in this regulation.
    9 The oil residues which cannot be discharged into the sea in compliance
    with this regulation shall be retained on board for subsequent discharge to
    reception facilities.
