MARPOL Annex I Waste Collection in the UAE
The UAE is one of the world’s most important maritime and logistics hubs, with Dubai serving thousands of commercial vessels, tankers, container ships and specialist marine operators.
Correct management of oily waste generated by vessels is therefore essential.
MARPOL Annex I covers the prevention of pollution by oil arising from both vessel operations and accidental discharges. The International Maritime Organization also recognises adequate port reception facilities as an important part of effective MARPOL implementation.
Gilston works with an approved and fully licensed UAE marine waste recovery partner to provide compliant collection and recovery solutions for vessels calling at UAE ports.
Our objective is simple: provide shipping companies and marine agents with a fast, professional and fully documented marine waste collection service.
Learn more about international MARPOL requirements directly from the International Maritime Organization – MARPOL Convention .
Our Marine Waste Collection Services
Gilston can coordinate a comprehensive range of vessel-generated waste streams.
Slop Oil Collection
We provide slop oil collection in Dubai for vessels requiring the safe removal and recovery of oily mixtures and residues.
Collections are planned around the vessel’s operational requirements wherever possible to minimise disruption and turnaround time.
Bilge Water Collection
Bilge water can contain oil, lubricants and other contaminants and must be managed correctly.
Our bilge water collection service in Dubai provides vessel operators with a safe route for collection, transportation and treatment through approved facilities.
Oily Wastewater Collection & Treatment
We arrange the collection and treatment of oily wastewater from vessels, machinery and marine operations.
Waste is transferred for appropriate treatment and recovery in accordance with applicable UAE environmental and waste-management requirements.
Oil Sludge Collection
Gilston provides oil sludge collection and disposal for vessels requiring removal of accumulated sludge and settled oily waste.
This includes coordinating collection, transport and disposal documentation through our approved service network.
Tank Washings
We can arrange collection of crude oil tank washings and oily tank residues generated during vessel cleaning and maintenance operations.
Used Engine Oil Collection
Used lubricating and engine oils require controlled handling and appropriate recovery or disposal.
Gilston coordinates the collection of used engine oil from vessels in Dubai, with waste transferred through approved recovery channels.
Oily Residues
We can also support vessels with other oil-contaminated residues and MARPOL Annex I waste streams, subject to waste classification, quantity and vessel requirements.
Marine Waste Collection at Jebel Ali Port
Jebel Ali Port is one of the busiest maritime and logistics hubs in the region, and reliable waste collection can be critical to keeping vessel operations on schedule.

- Oily wastewater
- Oil sludge
- Used engine oil

Marine Waste Collection at Port Rashid
We also provide marine waste collection at Port Rashid, Dubai.
Our team can coordinate planned collections as well as urgent requirements, helping vessel operators organise collection without having to manage multiple waste contractors.
Where urgent assistance is required, our team will assess the vessel schedule, waste type and collection requirements and work to arrange the earliest available attendance.
Complete MARPOL Waste Documentation
For shipping companies, collecting the waste is only part of the requirement.
Documentation and traceability are equally important.
Gilston manages the collection process from the initial enquiry through to final disposal documentation, providing appropriate records and waste disposal certificates for completed collections.
This gives vessel operators, agents and management companies a clear audit trail for their waste.
The IMO highlights port reception facilities as an important element of MARPOL implementation. More information is available through the IMO guidance on Port Reception Facilities .
UAE Waste Management Compliance
Marine and oily waste must be handled through appropriate waste-management channels.
Dubai Municipality maintains information relating to approved waste transporters, waste-oil collection, recycling and hazardous and non-hazardous waste processing facilities.
Businesses can access current information through the Dubai Municipality Waste Department .
Dubai Municipality also operates the RASID waste management system, which monitors and regulates registered waste-management companies and waste transportation activities within Dubai.
More information is available from Dubai Municipality RASID .
Gilston’s role is to make this process straightforward for our customers by coordinating collection and disposal through the appropriate approved service partners.

Supporting Cleaner UAE Waters
Responsible management of ship-generated waste plays an important role in protecting the UAE’s marine environment.
