REGULATORY COMPLIANT
While the reporting of and cleanup for all spills and leaks is always required, the remediation costs and fines associated with VGP-compliant solutions are generally less substantial. US EPA 2013 VGP: vessels over 79 feet must use Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants (EALs) when operating in US waters in all oil-to-sea interfaces. An “Environmentally Acceptable Lubricant” is minimally toxic, not bioaccumulative and biodegradable (defined as >60% degradation after 28 days). EALs and other safer fluids required under the VGP are a good benchmark to follow when operating in highly sensitive and restricted areas to minimize the environmental impact of a spill or leak.
