A typical large cruise ship will generate an average of 8 metric tons of oily bilge water for each 24 hours of operation.
This movement happens to be in close proximity with a well to collect bilge water.
Men, floor plates, bilge water, and other loose objects fell through the length of the submarine.
It was believed to have arrived on the hulls of ships, or possibly the larval stages travelled in bilge water.
Bilge water also may contain solid wastes and pollutants containing high amounts of oxygen-demanding material, oil and other chemicals.
Whether it be waste oil from washing an oil fuel-ballast tank or waste oil which has been accumulated from the lubricating system or oily bilge water is not important.
The other is to have local barges in the harbors, which themselves have separators, and into which the ships can discharge their bilge water mixed with oil.
The two petitions are largely bogus, lacking in fact and merit, and they should be thrown out with the bilge water with the contempt they deserve.
