Figure 6-1.-Typical shipboard oil pollution control system.following lists show common sources of oil and oilywaste that find their way into the water.1. Lubricating oila. Leakage and drainage from equipment andsystemsb. Contaminated oil from centrifugal purifiersc. Used oil removed from equipment during anoil change2. Fuel oila. Spillage during fueling, defueling, andinternal transfer operationsb. Leakage through hull structures into bilgesc. Stripping from the contaminated oil settlingtankd. Ballast water from fuel tanks ofnoncompensated fuel systems or bulk carrierse. Ballast water from compensated fuel tanksystems during refueling, defueling, and internaltransfer operationsf. Tank cleaning operations3. Hydraulic fluidsa. Leakage of hydraulic fluid from glands andseals into hydraulic pump room bilgesb. Spillage during system filling orreplenishmentc. Spillage caused by hydraulic systemcasualtiesHANDLING OIL SPILLSAll oil spills and slicks or sheens within the 50-mileprohibited zone of the United States shall be reportedimmediately according to the Environmental andNatural Resources Program Manual, OPNAVINST5090.1. Navy ships can now provide immediateremedial action on oil spills until they are relieved byshore-based response units. Since U.S. shorebased unitsare seldom available in non-Navy or foreign ports, aship may have to clean up the entire spill.A cleanup kit has been developed for use by theship’s crew. The U.S. Navy Oil Spill Containment andCleanup Kit, NAVSEA 0994-LP-013-6010, contains adescription of the kit and instructions for its use. Themanual describes safety precautions for use of the kit aswell as the recommended shipboard allowance. Atrained crew that acts quickly can contain a spill, and itcan often collect the entire spill without help fromshore-based personnel.6-3
