Oil Absorbent Sheets
Oil absorbent sheets are essential onboard ships for maintaining a clean and safe environment, particularly in areas where oil and fuel spills may occur.
These sheets are designed to absorb oil while repelling water, making them ideal for use at sea.
Applications on Board :
-
Engine Room : Placed under machinery and pipelines to catch leaks or drips from lubricants and fuel.
-
Bilges : Used to absorb oil floating on bilge water before discharge, helping to comply with MARPOL regulations.
-
Decks : Handy for cleaning up spills during bunkering operations or maintenance.
-
Storage Areas : Kept in spill response kits for quick deployment in the event of a spill.
Advantages :
- Floats on water – absorbs oil without becoming waterlogged .
-
Easy to use and dispose – helps maintain quick response to spills.
-
Regulation compliance – supports environmental protection and pollution prevention efforts onboard.
Proper use of oil absorbent sheets is part of good housekeeping and spill response protocols on vessels, contributing to both operational efficiency and environmental safety.
