Streamline MARPOL pollution prevention compliance with automated waste logging, discharge monitoring, and digital record book management. MarineInspection provides comprehensive pollution compliance software for vessel operators, environmental officers, and fleet managers to maintain regulatory adherence across all six MARPOL annexes covering oil, sewage, garbage, air emissions, and ballast water management.
Bilge water record book automation
Automated bilge water discharge logging with GPS coordinates, weather conditions, and flow meter readings. Digital Oil Record Book Part I compliance ensuring proper documentation of machinery space operations, bilge pumping, and oily water separator maintenance per MARPOL Annex I requirements.
Complete sludge and waste oil management tracking from generation to disposal. Digital documentation of oily residue transfers to shore reception facilities, incineration records, and tank cleaning operations with automatic calculations ensuring MARPOL Annex I compliance and Port State Control readiness.
Comprehensive garbage record book management for MARPOL Annex V compliance. Track food waste, domestic waste, cooking oil, operational waste, cargo residues, and plastics with discharge location verification ensuring proper disposal methods based on distance from shore and special area restrictions.
Automated waste logging & pollution prevention monitoring
MarineInspection tracks compliance across all six MARPOL annexes covering prevention of pollution by oil (Annex I), noxious liquid substances (Annex II), harmful packaged substances (Annex III), sewage (Annex IV), garbage (Annex V), and air pollution including sulfur emissions and energy efficiency (Annex VI). The system maintains equipment checklists, operating parameter tracking, maintenance requirements, and complete documentation for each annex ensuring vessels meet international maritime environmental protection standards with automated compliance monitoring and regulatory deadline alerts.
The Garbage of Life at Sea (Annex V) Convention establishes minimum safety standards for vessel construction, equipment, and operation. MarineInspection tracks Annex V requirements including construction standards for hull, machinery, and equipment, lifesaving appliances such as lifeboats and life rafts, fire protection and detection systems, radio communications equipment, navigation safety systems including ECDIS and voyage data recorders, and cargo safety for dangerous goods. The platform maintains compliance documentation, inspection schedules, and maintenance records ensuring vessels meet international maritime safety standards with complete audit trails.
Garbage Record Books track all vessel-generated waste per MARPOL Annex V requirements including plastics, food waste, domestic waste, cooking oil, incinerator ashes, operational waste, cargo residues, and animal carcasses. MarineInspection automates garbage logging with waste category selection, estimated amounts, discharge methods (incineration, shore reception, discharge to sea), and location verification ensuring compliance with special area restrictions and distance from land requirements. The system alerts crew when garbage discharge is prohibited, calculates proper disposal methods based on vessel position, and maintains complete audit trails demonstrating environmental responsibility during Port State Control inspections and reducing risk of MARPOL violations and associated fines. requires shipping companies to establish safety management systems documenting procedures, responsibilities, and emergency preparedness.
Compliance Automation & Digital Reporting
MarineInspection automates all MARPOL annexes including Annex I (oil pollution), Annex II (noxious liquids), Annex III (packaged harmful substances), Annex IV (sewage), Annex V (garbage), and Annex VI (air emissions and energy efficiency).
When Port State Control officers board vessels for inspections, crew can instantly retrieve statutory certificates, oil record books, garbage record books, ballast water record books, MARPOL documentation, and maintenance records from cloud storage.
Automated compliance calendars calculate certificate renewal dates based on last survey dates, vessel construction dates, and operational requirements. The system generates alerts 90, 60, and 30 days before statutory certificates, class certificates, or equipment certifications expire.

MarineInspection digitally records all MARPOL waste discharge operations, including OWS activity, 15ppm verification, bilge discharge positions, tank operations, and shore disposal. Automated checks prevent non-compliant discharges and maintain complete audit-ready logs for inspections.
Digital ORBs remove handwriting errors, missing pages, and outdated entries. MarineInspection automates Annex I logging with time, GPS, and system verifications, ensuring consistent, compliant, and audit-friendly oil pollution records across all vessel types.
Yes. MarineInspection logs Annex V garbage disposal rules, including special-area restrictions, permitted discharge types, GPS verification, and shore delivery receipts. It prevents non-compliant entries and provides complete garbage record book history for inspections.
MarineInspection tracks Annex VI fuel sulfur limits, ECA compliance, bunker delivery notes, EGCS data, and energy efficiency records. Digital reporting streamlines audits, reduces errors, supports photo/GPS evidence, and ensures all emission documentation is accessible during inspections.
