The shipping industry faces strict environmental responsibilities, with international conventions such as IMO Marpol 73/78 setting the framework for waste management at sea. Annex I of Marpol requires vessels to discharge bilge water and oily residues safely and compliantly at port. Failure to do so can lead to delays, penalties and reputational risk.

Ambipar provides a reliable, compliant and cost-effective bilge oil disposal service to the maritime sector in Ireland. With more than 50 years of expertise in environmental services, we ensure that shipping companies remain fully compliant with Marpol regulations and Irish legislation.
