Inland waterway transport is deemed to be the most environmentally friendly mode of transport. The treatment of waste that inevitably occurs during the operation of vessels is of particular concern for river operators. Six European countries ( Germany, Belgium. France, Luxembourg, Switzerland and The Netherlands) have adopted rules of the collection and disposal of waste in their national legislation.
Marpol Services is designated as a partner to implement the rules in the so called CDNI treaty. We have special barges for the collection of waste in

Cleaning bulk cargos is one of the major issues on board vessels. Not only masters’ and ships’ crew are involved but also office-operation managers and sometimes external specialists. Preparation for loading new cargo requires important cleaning procedures. Especially today where cargos like coal, pet coke, cement, iron and bauxite are in high demand.
These procedures have different standards depending on previous and next cargos, as well as local regulations and specific cargo interest requirements. Cleaning coal and pet coke should be done in a specific way to avoid cargo deposits which will result in blisters and peel of the coating when the hold starts to sweat.
Attuned to the needs of the maritime industry, we provide thorough hold cleaning with the utmost efficiency in time and costs.
Marpol is experienced in prevention and remedial clean-up in response to incidents in and on the water, in lock systems and on-board both maritime and inland water vessels. Our personnel has coordinated and tackled a wide variety of incidents. To name a few:
Marpol Services is appointed by the Dutch authorities (Rijkswaterstaat) as primary partner in case of any oil spill in the Amsterdam region.

Highly recommended for shipyards, boatyards, marinas and bunkering stations. Booms are available in diameters of 13
and 20 cm and lenghts of 3 and 5 meters. Floating on the water surface they confine oil spills to a single area. Booms can be deployed immediately in the event of any contamination, thus minimizing the impact on the environment. These booms are recommended by the the Dutch Ministry of Transport, Public works and Water management.
We recommend the use of oil and chemical-absorbent cloths to numerous industries including the petrochemical industry, machinery plants and garages. These cloths are ideal for placing on the round around machinery and in other locations to absorb oils and chemicals as spills occur. The absorption capacity is up to 25 times their own weight. Heavy machinery can be moved over these cloths without any problem.
