3.6 Automatic Stopping Device

 The automatic stopping device is a device used, where applicable, to automatically stop any discharge overboard of oily mixture when the oil content of the effluent exceeds 15 ppm. The automatic stopping device should consist of a valve arrangement installed in the effluent outlet line of the 15 ppm Bilge Separator which automatically diverts the effluent mixture from being discharged overboard back to the ship's bilges or bilge tank when the oil content of the effluent exceeds 15 ppm.
