Period from: ......................................... to: ...............................

 

Note: Oil Record Book Part I shall be provided to every oil tanker of 150 tons gross tonnage and above and every ship of 400 tons gross tonnage and above, other than oil tankers, to record relevant machinery space operations. For oil tankers, Oil Record Book Part II shall also be provided to record relevant cargo/ballast operations.

 

INTRODUCTION

 

The following pages of this section show a comprehensive list of items of machinery space operations which are, when appropriate, to be recorded in the Oil Record Book in accordance with Regulation 20 of Annex I of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973, as modified by the Protocol of 1978 relating thereto (MARPOL 73/78). The items have been grouped into operational sections, each of which is denoted by a letter code.

 

When making entries in the Oil Record Book, the date, operational code and item number shall be inserted in the appropriate columns and the required particulars shall be recorded chronologically in the blank spaces.

 

Each completed operation shall be signed for and dated by the officer or officers in charge.  Each completed page shall be signed by the master of the ship.

 

The Oil Record Book contains many references to oil quantity. The limited accuracy of tank measurement devices, temperature variations and clingage will affect the accuracy of these readings. The entries in the Oil Record Book should be considered accordingly.

(B) DISCHARGE  OF  DIRTY  BALLAST  OR  CLEANING  WATER  FROM  OIL  FUEL TANKS REFERRED TO UNDER SECTION (A)

 

5. Identity of tank(s).

 

6. Position of ship at start of discharge.

 

7. Position of ship on completion of discharge.

 

8. Ship's speed(s) during discharge.

 

9. Method of discharge:

.1        Through 100 ppm equipment;

.2        through 15 ppm equipment;

.3        to reception facilities.

 

10.        Quantity discharged.

 

(C)        COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL OF OIL RESIDUES (SLUDGE)

 

11. Collection of oil residues

 

Quantity of oil residues (sludge) retained on board at the end of a voyage, but not more frequently than once a week. When ships are on short voyages, the quantity should be recorded weekly1.

.1 separated sludge (sludge resulting from purification of fuel and lubricating oils) and other residues, if applicable:

- identity of tank(s)

- capacity of tank(s) ................................ m3

- total quantity of retention ............................... m3;

.2 other residues (such as oil residues resulting from drainages, leakages, exhausted oil, etc., in the machinery spaces), if applicable due to tank arrangement in addition to .1:

- identity of tank(s)

- capacity of tank(s) ............................ m3

- total quantity of retention ...................... m3

 

12. Methods of disposal of residue

 

State quantity of oil residues disposed of, the tank(s) emptied and the quantity of contents retained:

.1 to reception facilities (identify port)2;
.2 transferred to another (other) tank(s) (indicate tank(s) and the total content of tank(s));
.3 incinerated (indicate total time of operation);
.4 other method (state which).

 

(D) NON-AUTOMATIC  DISCHARGE  OVERBOARD  OR  DISPOSAL  OTHERWISE  OF BILGE WATER WHICH HAS ACCUMULATED IN MACHINERY SPACES

 

13. Quantity discharged or disposed of.

 

14. Time of discharge or disposal (start and stop).

 

15. Method of discharge or disposal:
.1 through 100 ppm equipment (state position at start and end);
.2 through 15 ppm equipment (state position at start and end);
.3 to reception facilities (identify port)3;
.4 transfer to slop tank or holding tank (indicate tank(s); state quantity transferred and the total quantity retained in tank(s)).

 

(E) AUTOMATIC DISCHARGE OVERBOARD OR DISPOSAL OTHERWISE OF BILGE WATER WHICH HAS ACCUMULATED IN MACHINERY SPACES

 

16. Time  and  position  of  ship  at  which  the  system  has  been  put  into  automatic  mode  of operation for discharge overboard.

 

17. Time when the system has been put into automatic mode of operation for transfer of bilge water to holding tank (identify tank).

 

18. Time when the system has been put to manual operation.

 

19. Method of discharge overboard:
.1 through 100 ppm equipment;
.2 through 15 ppm equipment.

1 Only in tanks listed in item 3 of Forms A and B of the Supplement to the IOPP Certificate.
2 Ships’ masters should obtain from the operator of the reception facilities, which include barges and tank trucks, a receipt or certificate detailing the quantity of tank washings, dirty ballast, residues or oily mixtures transferred, together with the time and date of the transfer. This receipt or certificate, if attached to the Oil Record Book may aid the master of the ship in proving that his or her ship was not involved in an alleged pollution incident. The receipt or certificate should be kept together with the Oil Record Book.
