Oceans Assured™ | MARPOL Compliant Non-HME Boat Cleaners
Oceans Assured™ has been developed in direct response to the discharge requirements set out under MARPOL Annex V.
Under the Convention, cleaning agents and additives may only be discharged into the marine environment where they are not harmful to the marine environment (Non-HME). This is a classification test - not a dilution test - and is based on established aquatic hazard criteria under internationally recognised regulatory frameworks.
In practical terms, this means that products routinely used in marina and boatyard environments must meet Non-HME standards where discharge into enclosed or semi-enclosed waters is foreseeable.
The Oceans Assured™ range has been formulated specifically to align with these principles.
Each product is designed to:
-
Avoid aquatic hazard classifications under GHS / CLP criteria
-
Support responsible marina and vessel operations
-
Provide transparent compliance documentation
-
Reduce unintended environmental exposure in routine wash-down activity
This collection represents a structured, compliance-aligned approach to marine surface care.
For operators, marina managers, contractors and private owners seeking clarity around MARPOL Annex V discharge standards, Oceans Assured™ provides a professional-grade solution supported by clear documentation and batch traceability.
