If the chemical used is caustic soda it is sufficient that the washwater meets the criteria set out in Resolution MEPC.184(59) and its pH does not exceed 8,0. |
| Biofuels | Use of biofuels as defined in Directive 2009/28/EC of the European Parliament and of the Councilb that comply with the relevant CEN and ISO standards.
