OIL DISCHARGE MONITOR VAF MARK 6
VAF
Refurbished
The VAF Oilcon Mark 6 Oil Discharge Monitor (ODM) is a highly respected marine environmental protection system designed for continuous monitoring and control of oily water discharged from oil tankers. Manufactured by VAF Instruments of The Netherlands, the Oilcon Mark 6 has become one of the most widely installed oil discharge monitoring systems in the global tanker industry.
The primary purpose of the Oilcon Mark 6 is to ensure compliance with MARPOL regulations governing the discharge of oily mixtures into the marine environment. The system continuously measures oil content, discharge rates, vessel speed, position data, and accumulated discharge quantities to ensure that any discharge remains within internationally permitted limits.
Environmental protection has become a critical priority throughout the maritime industry. Regulatory authorities, classification societies, flag administrations, and charterers require strict compliance with pollution prevention regulations. The VAF Oilcon Mark 6 provides ship operators with a reliable solution for monitoring and recording discharge activities while maintaining complete regulatory compliance.
For tanker operators, maintaining a fully operational Oilcon Mark 6 system is essential not only for environmental protection but also for avoiding costly penalties, detentions, and operational disruptions.

The VAF Oilcon Mark 6 is an advanced Oil Discharge Monitoring and Control System specifically developed for oil tankers. The system continuously measures the concentration of oil in discharged water and automatically calculates discharge performance in accordance with MARPOL requirements.
The equipment typically consists of a central processing unit, monitoring electronics, flow measurement devices, oil content sensors, control valves, interface modules, alarm systems, and recording functions. The system continuously processes operational data and automatically records discharge events for inspection and compliance purposes.
The Oilcon Mark 6 is designed to interface with various onboard systems including GPS receivers, speed log systems, cargo control systems, alarm systems, and vessel automation networks. This integration allows the system to calculate discharge conditions accurately while maintaining full operational transparency.
The equipment is particularly common on crude oil tankers, product tankers, shuttle tankers, and other vessels where oil discharge monitoring is mandatory.
SM MARINE SERVICE™ supplies both New Equipment and Reconditioned Equipment depending on customer requirements and budget considerations.

The Oilcon Mark 6 continuously measures oil concentration in discharge streams, ensuring that discharge activities remain within permitted environmental limits.
The system is specifically designed to help tanker operators comply with international MARPOL Annex I regulations governing oil discharge operations.
Discharge activities are automatically recorded, providing essential documentation for inspections, audits, and regulatory compliance verification.
The system combines oil content monitoring, flow monitoring, vessel speed information, position data, and discharge calculations into a single integrated platform.
Automatic alarms are generated whenever operational parameters exceed allowable limits. Control outputs can initiate corrective actions to prevent non-compliant discharges.
The equipment is engineered for continuous operation in demanding marine environments and is capable of withstanding vibration, humidity, temperature changes, and harsh shipboard conditions.
The control panel and display system provide operators with clear operational information and simplified system management functions.
