Preventing the discharge of EGCS into Omani territorial waters

According to Oman’s Ministry of Transport, Communications & Information Technology, ships that use open-loop ship exhaust gas cleaning systems are prohibited from discharging washing water into Omani ports and territorial waters.

Ships that use hybrid exhaust gas cleaning systems must switch from the open loop mode to the closed loop mode when they reach the territorial waters and keep the washing residues on board and dispose of them at designated facilities at the port.

Ships using closed-loop exhaust gas cleaning systems must keep the washing residues onboard when they reach territorial waters and dispose of them at designated facilities at the port.
