The SeresQ ODME MK III is a marine-certified Oil Discharge Monitoring Equipment (ODME) developed for continuous monitoring and recording of oil discharge operations onboard oil and chemical tankers. Designed to comply with IMO MARPOL Annex I, the system continuously measures oil concentration, calculates discharge rates, records operational data, and automatically supervises overboard discharge to prevent marine pollution.
The system integrates an industrial computer unit, LCD display, membrane keypad, built-in thermal printer, alarm management, and automatic valve control into a single environmental monitoring platform. During discharge operations, the ODME continuously evaluates oil concentration, flow rate, vessel speed, and discharge conditions, ensuring that overboard discharge remains within the limits established by international regulations.
Thanks to its robust marine construction and dependable performance, the SeresQ ODME MK III has been installed on numerous tankers worldwide and remains a trusted solution for shipowners, operators, and technical managers.
SM MARINE SERVICE™ supplies new, used, and professionally reconditioned SeresQ ODME MK III systems, replacement computer units, printer assemblies, electronic boards, sampling units, spare parts, repair services, calibration support, and worldwide technical assistance.
The SeresQ ODME MK III is an intelligent monitoring and control system designed to supervise oil discharge from cargo tanks and slop tanks during tanker operations.
Rather than measuring oil concentration alone, it continuously evaluates multiple operational parameters to determine whether discharge complies with IMO MARPOL Annex I requirements.
The system automatically:
Its integrated monitoring and automatic protection functions help reduce the risk of accidental or illegal oil discharge while simplifying vessel inspections.
The SeresQ ODME MK III operates through a continuous monitoring process.
A representative sample is extracted from the discharge line and delivered to the sampling unit. The oil content sensor measures the concentration of oil in the sample while the system simultaneously receives flow rate, vessel speed, and operational inputs. The computer unit calculates the instantaneous oil discharge rate and compares it with the limits defined by IMO MARPOL Annex I.
If all parameters remain within the permitted limits, discharge continues normally. If excessive oil concentration or abnormal operating conditions are detected, the system immediately activates alarms and can automatically command the overboard valve to close, preventing unauthorized discharge.
All operational events, alarms, and discharge records are stored in memory and can be printed for inspection by Port State Control, Flag State authorities, or classification societies.
The SeresQ ODME MK III typically consists of the following major components:
The SeresQ ODME MK III continues to be widely used because of its dependable performance and regulatory compliance.
Key features include:
The SeresQ ODME MK III is engineered for continuous operation onboard oil and chemical tankers. Depending on the vessel's configuration and software version, specifications may vary slightly, but the system generally includes the following characteristics.

The modular design allows individual electronic boards, printer assemblies, displays, sensors, and interface modules to be serviced independently, reducing maintenance costs and vessel downtime.
SM MARINE SERVICE™ supplies complete systems, refurbished units, replacement modules, and genuine or compatible spare parts for vessels worldwide.
The SeresQ ODME MK III is widely installed on vessels where strict environmental compliance is mandatory.
Typical applications include:
The system provides continuous supervision of oil discharge operations while helping operators comply with international pollution prevention regulations.
The primary purpose of the SeresQ ODME MK III is to ensure compliance with IMO MARPOL Annex I, which governs the prevention of pollution by oil from ships.
During every discharge operation, the system continuously records:
If any operating parameter exceeds the allowable discharge limits, the system immediately activates alarms and can automatically close the overboard discharge valve to prevent illegal discharge.
This automatic protection assists ship operators during Port State Control inspections, Flag State surveys, and classification society audits.
