The Whitebox® is a vital system installed on ships to prevent illegal bilge water discharges.

It is a locked cabinet containing monitoring and control equipment, connected to the ship’s GPS, recording essential data such as oil content, valve positions, flow rates, and vessel information. This data proves compliance with regulations and can be presented to authorities. The Whitebox also monitors sewage overboard pump or STP running if connected.

It helps protect the crew, the company, and cargo owners by providing evidence of discharge activities. Operational reports can be generated, displaying discharged volumes, oil content, and the performance of Marinfloc’s Oily Water Separator.

Additionally, the Whitebox can be connected to Marinfloc Ocean Guardian to automatically close the valve when the vessel crosses the 12 nautical mile line. It can also monitor and redirect clean drain discharges to reduce bilge water yield and operational costs.

Overall, the Whitebox is a crucial tool in ensuring compliance, preventing illegal discharges, and improving environmental protection on ships.
