What is MARPOL? Basic Things You Need to Know
Today we're talking about a really important topic - MARPOL. What is it and why is it crucial for protecting our marine environment? MARPOL stands for the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships.
In this video, I'll explain how this convention came about, why it was needed, and what problems it addresses. You'll learn about the six main annexes of MARPOL, which deal with different types of pollution: oil, noxious liquids, harmful substances, sewage, garbage, and air pollution.
We'll discuss the history and evolution of MARPOL, key rules and regulations, and real pollution incidents that led to stricter measures. I'll also talk about how ships get certified and inspected to comply with the rules.
I hope this video helps you better understand what MARPOL is and how it works. Let's take care of our ocean together and make the maritime industry cleaner and safer.

    Wow this is well equipped with practical equipment. My only issue is the lack of velcro storage bags. In case of capsizing because of strong waves. Also the ballists should be filled with those compact towels, or space towels, or even compacted sponges, so they actually absorb the water quickly and fully, im curious if they actually fill with water to its maximum and not just half fill as it is.

    • @SeamanBlog
      @SeamanBlog 7 днів тому

      The LSA Code actually requires that these systems are designed so the pockets fill with at least 60% water within 25 seconds of being deployed. So, the current standards already focus on making sure the tanks fill up efficiently and fast. Ballast pockets do improve the raft's stability. How effective would they be in a heavy rough stormy sea? It's anyone's guess. That's not something I'd want to experience firsthand :)

    * If your EPIRB doesn't have a Test Button, most likely it's too old and unsupported. USCG FAR's will require you to upgrade if you're a Commercial Operator. Fun Fact: In the old days you'd notify an authority under USGS that you were testing your Emergency Beacon or EPIRB. * While testing, inflate and have professionally repacked your Liferafts at least once every five years.

      This is an EPIRB - Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon. In case of an emergency at sea, in the middle of the ocean, such as the flooding of a vessel or the risk of flooding, it will help coastal rescue stations to accurately and quickly determine your location in order to provide assistance as quickly and effectively as possible. It can be activated both manually and automatically, depending on the situation.

    • @SeamanBlog
      @SeamanBlog 4 місяці тому

      Welcome, as i understand ur question is LSA CODE - 4.2.7.2 Provision shall be made for marking each liferaft with the name and port of registry of the ship to which it is to be fitted, in such a form that the ship identification can be changed at any time without opening the container.

    • @SeamanBlog
      @SeamanBlog 4 місяці тому

      Prom practice side , supplier generally arrange the name of the ship and the port of registry stickers already installed on liferaft container to avoid any paint stencils by the crew side, to avoid the removing paint in future.
