An age-old theology states that Man is a steward or a guardian of the animals, plants and indeed the entire planet. It appears that somewhere in history; Man abandoned this role and picked up the role of an exterminator. Thankfully, with the recent rise in environmental awareness, it seems that Mankind is returning to its original role.
At IMS, we take this stewardship very seriously. We ensure that our management systems are in line with all environmental compliances. In fact, we take it a step further and offer services aligned with environmental protection.
The shipping industry is fraught with environmental laws aimed at protecting the ocean and her creatures. An important law is the management of waste oil. Oil here refers to any mineral-based lubrication or industrial oil, which has become unfit for its originally intended use. IMS offers you the facility of managing the disposal of waste oil in compliance with MARPOL 73/78, The Basel Convention on the Control of Trans-boundary Movement of Hazardous Waste, and International Laws. We document all operations and disposal. You will receive a certificate to state that all waste lubricants are disposed properly and in accordance with all environmental laws.
Therefore, we encourage you to do the responsible thing and contact our office to discuss having your unusable oil properly disposed.
