As we are all aware, the shipboard ORB, standing for the Oil Record Book, is the formal document, providing the official evidence of compliance of the ship with the relevant requirement and instructions, outlined in the MARPOL Oil Pollution Prevention Annex I. That is the main reason why the responsible personnel shall possess clear understanding and knowledge of how the entries shall be made to the Oil Record Book of their vessel.
The present guidebook is there to provide brief explanation of the nice codes that are normally use when recording the oil operations, supplemented with the real examples of their application. For instance, the Code A is dealing with the ballasting/fuel oil tank cleaning activities, that shall be duly recorded in the ship's Oil Record Book with proper identification of the ballasted tanks, and information related to the cleaning and ballasting processes, while the Code B addresses the dirty ballast discharge. In short, one has to know how to fill and maintain the ORB at all times.
