Book Bilge Alarm Service with Confidence

Interpretation:

In the context of resolution MEPC.107(49), the phrase "The accuracy of the 15 ppm Bilge Alarms should be checked at IOPP Certificate renewal surveys according to the manufacturer's instructions" in 4.2.11 shall be understood as follows, taking into account resolution A.1104(29):

A) The validity of the calibration certificate for the 15 ppm Bilge Alarms should be verified during IOPP (International Oil Pollution Prevention) annual, intermediate, or renewal surveys.

B) The accuracy of the 15 ppm bilge alarms should be checked through calibration and testing of the equipment. This process must be conducted by either the manufacturer or individuals authorized by the manufacturer. The checks should be performed at intervals not exceeding five years, or within the term specified in the manufacturer's instructions, whichever is shorter.

By adhering to this interpretation, ship operators can ensure compliance with the relevant regulations, guarantee the proper functioning of their bilge alarms, and maintain effective pollution prevention measures for machinery space bilges.
