MARPOL leaves no room for loose ends: every litre of sludge and every bag of garbage has to be delivered, recorded and evidenced. Bodursan plans the discharge of ship-generated waste as part of the port call, so the vessel sails with clean tanks, correct entries and the documents the next inspector will ask for.
Waste streams we arrange
- Annex I – oily wastes Sludge, oily bilge water and waste oils delivered to port reception facilities by barge or road tanker.
- Annex IV – sewage Collection of sewage and grey water where the ship cannot discharge at sea.
- Annex V – garbage Plastics, food, domestic and operational waste, cooking oil, incinerator ash and cargo residues, separated by category.
- Annex VI – ozone-depleting substances and scrubber residues Removal of residues and redundant equipment through authorised receivers.
How a waste delivery runs
- Advance notification We collect the quantities from the ship and submit the waste delivery notification to the port within the required time.
- Booking and timing The reception facility, barge or truck is booked to match the berth window and other port operations.
- Delivery on the day Our agent attends where needed and checks that quantities and categories match what was declared.
- Receipts and records The waste delivery receipt is passed to the master for the Oil Record Book and Garbage Record Book entries.
Why Bodursan
- One point of contact Your Bodursan agent books the reception, coordinates the port, the terminal and the contractor, and keeps the master informed, so waste never becomes a separate job for the ship.
- Planned around the port call Collections are timed to the berth window, bunkering and cargo operations so the vessel does not lose time alongside.
- Paperwork that survives an inspection Advance notifications, receipts and certificates are checked before they reach the ship, ready for Port State Control and vetting.
- Coverage across Turkey From the Tuzla head office we serve Istanbul, the Dardanelles, Izmit Bay, Yalova and the main Marmara, Aegean, Mediterranean and Black Sea ports.
