Vessel General Permit (VGP) WTF?
This OilyNews has a bit of stuff for everyone in our target industries — but especially the
commercial marine guys — who now will have to comply with the Clean Water Act and
even have an NPDES permit (VGP Vessel General Permit).
THE FEDS ARE COMING TO YOUR BOAT 12/19/13!
Want to discuss your VGP with the EPA & USCG? HUH? WTF is VGP?
Vessel General Permit for ALL commercial vessels over 79'.
On 12/19/13, the game changes for marine waste waters management.
SkimOil didn’t write the rules, but we’re READY — are you?
Some waters you can’t discharge at all in some places — some you can treat prior to
discharge, etc. What if the water was evaporated away? (read more)
Some boats will have to run under NO DISCHARGE!

Turn your boat into a NO DISCHARGE ZONE — hmmmm?
SkimOil’s MSDs can be set up to handle your gray water too.
BAD NEWS: LAKERS for sure.... and other workboats somewhat (kinda).... the writing is on
the wall for some of your gray water and even treated black waters. Oily bilge waters?
Disposal methods are changing.
THE GOOD NEWS: There are some relatively easy ways to manage gray and bilge
water without discharges. (read more)
WE’RE READY! NO Discharge ZONE? No problemo!
What’s an oil skimmer?
What’s the difference between an oil skimmer and an oily water separator?
SkimOil has every oil skimmer technology known to man...really!
Simply put, an oil skimmer is designed to remove free floating oils from the surface of
water, and oily water separators (OWS) are designed to remove oil from a moving stream
of a lot of water. Which one do you need?
It helps to know what you’re doing — we can help!
Why wonder? We are oil skimmer experts. Call now! 314-579-9755
Does wastewater evaporation
really $ave me? $$$
Evaporate your wastewaters efficiently — will it work for you?
Or is it a lot of hot air (with water vapor in it)?
There are alternative waste water treatments (WWT) to hauling your waste water off. How
about if you have no waste water — because you’ve evaporated it away?? Hmmm?
Evaporation isn’t rocket science, but it helps to know what the alternatives are
— BilgeVAP, MarineVAP and OilEaterVAP.
Here’s the background on evaporation for the marine industry. Maybe, just maybe, this can
work for you? (read more)...even if you’re not on a boat!
For some VERY boring but important reading, here are a few EPA links describing and
explaining the VGP. The rules change in December. We’re ready — are you?
Vessel Sewage Discharges: Statutes, Regulations, and Related Laws and Treaties
Vessel Sewage Discharges and No Discharge Zones
Regulation of ship pollution in the United States
Ever had a load of bad fuel? Want to know it
before the filters need changing?
Diesel fuel filters on workboats tend to clog fast with a bad load of fuel or in rough waters
— right when you can’t afford it. If this happens while building a tow, or on approach to a
lock or bridge or a harbor, you can get in trouble FAST, creating a critical safety hazard for
all involved. The Fuel Filter Alert & Alarm System lets you avoid this common cause of
power or engine failure.
