5.6 Overboard Discharge Control Arrangement

  5.6.1 In oil tankers fitted with a category A monitoring system the overboard discharge control should be able to stop the discharge of the effluent into the sea automatically by either closing all relevant overboard discharge valves or stopping all relevant pumps. The discharge control arrangement should be fail-safe so that all effluent discharge is stopped when the monitoring system is not in operation, at alarm conditions, or when the monitoring system fails to function.

  5.6.2 In oil tankers fitted with a category B monitoring system, the overboard discharge control arrangement may be activated manually.
