Further advices

Do not incinerate:

- Metals like soda and food cans, plates, flatware, serving spoons/trays,
hardware (nuts & bolts), structural pieces, wire ropes, chains, etc.
- Glass, such as bottles, jars, drinking glasses, etc.
- Flammable materials such as bottles or cans containing flammable liquids or
gasses and aerosol cans.
- Heavy loads with plastics or bulk food waste

Loading of glass will result in a rock hard slag which is difficult to remove from and
may damage the refractory lining.

Incinerator ashes should not be discharged into the sea


(IMO Resolution MEPC 201/62 adopted on 15 July 2011 Annex 13)

Incineration of garbage (solid wastes) must be logged in the Garbage Record Book
(GRB), category A-F. Incineration of all waste oil (liquid wastes) should according to
MARPOL be recorded in oil record book (ORB) as residues.

Read the instruction/warning label on the incinerator garbage door


and follow the maintenance schedule in the operation manual to
ensure safe and smooth operation of the incinerator unit.
