Frequently asked questions

International laws such as MARPOL (International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships) regulate the discharge and disposal of waste from ships. These regulations ensure responsible waste management and aim to eliminate and reduce the amount of garbage discharged into the sea.

The special areas established under Annex V include:

• The Mediterranean Sea area
• The Baltic Sea area
• The Black Sea area
• The Red Sea area
• The Gulfs area
• The North Sea area
• The Wider Caribbean Region
• The Arctic and Antarctic waters (Polar Code)

These areas require special mandatory methods for the prevention of marine pollution by garbage due to their unique oceanographic and ecological conditions and the nature of maritime traffic. They are afforded a higher level of protection than other sea areas.

Delitek AS was founded in 1992.

Delitek factory is in Norway and supplies high-quality products to customers worldwide.

Our unique concept is based around wheeled containers that are interchangeable between DRY waste products from same product series. For instance, the DT-200MC waste compactor & DT-230SR shredder will both work perfectly alone, but a combination of the DT-200MC and DT-230SR will give a unique and flexible system for waste handling onboard offshore installations. Such combination will enable further compaction of the shredded material, because these two machines (shredder & waste compactor) make use of the very same container (C-200) & big-bags. The C-200 waste container can in other words be interchanged between the shredder and waste compactor. The result is extreme volume reduction of most DRY waste fractions incl. small steel drums, small plastic drums, tins, small paint buckets, cardboard, paper, plastic materials, wood crating, soda cans, PE soda bottles etc. Another major argument in favour of implementing a waste handling system consisting of compactor and shredder is the problem that follows volume reduction of hard plastic materials – Pet Bottles as good example – since they tend to re-expand back to its normal form / size. Using a shredder and compactor in combination is the only real way to achieve persistent (and extreme) volume reduction of hard plastic materials.

Delitek DRY waste products are modular in design and can always be expanded to include extra C-200 containers (for onboard source segregation), DT-230SRP shredder (for increased volume reduction and reduced costs for waste disposal), DT-200GC glass crusher (for proper treatment of glass bottles, jars and similar glass waste types).

We recommend segregating dry waste according to Marpol Annex V guidelines.  In our waste capacity calculations, we normally recommend segregation into the following six fractions: 1. Paper & cardboard, 2. Plastic films, 3. Mixed general waste (incl. textiles), 4. Hard plastic (PET bottles etc.), 5. Steel tins & aluminum cans, 6. Glass.

 We provide capacity calculations based on vessel type, intended placement, total number of persons onboard (POB), and average time between disposals. These parameters serve as basis for our ‘’waste capacity calculation’’, which will give us an idea about how much waste (volume-wise) and waste fractions (paper, plastic, metals, tins, rags etc.) a particular vessel or offshore installation is expected to generate. The calculation will also give us an idea about volume reduction and waste management expenses, how many fully compacted waste bags that must be expected between disposals etc.

Delitek manufactured products are perfectly suitable for open deck placement. Stainless steel AISI 304 is normally sufficient for outdoor placement when products are placed under shelter or similar protection. If products are placed in an unsheltered area exposed to a rough marine environment, we always recommend AISI 316 offshore quality materials.

The standard warranty period for Delitek equipment is 12 months, but it can be extended to meet specific customer requirements.

Standard voltage options 220V~230V, 380V~440V, 460V~480V, 660V~690V, 50~60Hzand 3-phase only.

Delitek manufactured waste compactors can also e supplied as EX/ATEX certified versions. Third-party unit verification statements from DNV are available upon request.

 We supply both transparent HD plastic bags for our DT200 series containers and bigbags (0.5m³, 1m³, 1.5m³) for larger units. All Delitek bags are specially designed for the appropriate waste containers. The containers are wheeled for easy transport to the deployment area for safe and easy disposal.
