Marine operations generate a range of oily waste streams — from fuel and lubricant waste to oily rags, filters and contaminated materials. MacWaste provides licensed collection and disposal of marine oily waste for commercial vessels, fishing fleets and leisure craft in Northern Ireland.

Hazardous Waste Classification
Marine oily waste — fuel and lubricant waste, oily rags, filters and other contaminated materials — is classified as hazardous waste and can't be discharged or disposed of informally. It must be collected by a licensed contractor.
Types of Marine Oily Waste We Collect
Some of the marine oily waste streams we collect:
Streams like waste engine oil and oily rags are handled through the same licensed process as our Waste Oil Collection and Oil-Contaminated Rags & Cloths services — so if your boatyard or marina also generates garage-type waste alongside marine waste, we can collect both on the same visit.
Collection to Suit You
MacWaste works with fishing vessel operators, commercial shipping, ferry operators and other marine businesses, collecting on a schedule that suits your operation — from a single vessel to a full fleet — with reliable, competitively priced service.
Combined with Other Services
Marine oily waste collection works best as part of our full marine waste package alongside Bilge Water Collection and Port & Harbour Waste Reception — one contractor, one set of paperwork, maximum convenience.
