Do YOU meet the current IMO regulations?

IMO Regulations 1.1.3
1.1.3 It should be understood that a gravitational
filtering equipment cannot be expected to
be effective over the complete range of
oils which might be carried on board ship,
nor can it deal satisfactorily with oil
of very high relative density or with a
mixture
presented to it as an emulsion. Cleansing
agents used for cleaning purposes in machinery
spaces may cause these emulsions in bilge
water.
To avoid this, only those cleansing agents
which do not affect the performance of the
equipment should be used, and care should
be taken that the bilge water is fed to
the filtering equipment after the emulsion
has broken.
Considering that not all designs of equipment
are affected in the same way by cleansing
agents, the manufacturers of filtering and
monitoring equipment should supply recommendations
concerning the use of cleansing agents,
and these recommendations should be followed
in shipboard practice.
