Integrated Systems for Processing All Types of Waste on Ships

This paper describes the integrated systems for processing different types of waste on ships. Today, the increasing cruise industry, as part of shipping industry, causes more possibility for pollution from ships. IMO through MARPOL Convention has defined strict requirements regarding environmental pollution prevention from ships. Manufacturers of the marine equipment and ship owners cooperate in applying the state-of-the-art technologies for waste processing. That technology constantly develops in order to comply with international legislative for pollution prevention. In this paper, working principle of machines for hard waste processing, systems for waste water processing and systems for bilge water processing are explained and at the end integration of systems for waste processing is shown. In spite of the efforts to process waste on board a ship as much as possible, still significant quantities of waste must be delivered ashore for processing, and some of it cannot be processed at all with the existing technologies. Such existing technologies comply with the present international legislative for environmental protection. But, such legislative is valid for the existing technologies and not good enough to have environment protected well enough. Searching for new technologies and such system integration must be proceeded with for better protection of marine environment and less pollution of sea and land from vessels, especially from ships with high power installed, carrying polluting cargo or large number of persons.
