Oil Discharge Monitoring and Control System

📌 What is an ODME?

An Oil Discharge Monitoring and Control System (ODME) is a mandatory device on oil tankers under MARPOL Annex I regulations. It continuously monitors, records, and controls the discharge of oily water mixtures from a vessel’s cargo tanks to ensure that oil content in overboard discharges stays within legal limits during deballasting or tank cleaning operations.
