[QUOTE=OICUR12;52903]me neither. OWS I assume stands for Ocean Wise Ship? guess i am the green man now but i never claimed to be part of the unlimited tonnage community.
maybe capacity plate is a limey thing.[/QUOTE]
I believe the phrase you were looking for was "Oily Water Separator"
Don’t worry, nobody uses them these days.
I believe they are relics left from the last of the stick ships!
I ate whale in Japan back in high school. The fat was cut into cubes, put on sticks and cooked over coals until the outer layer started to crackle. Crispy outside, soft inside with a taste of the charred wood. It tasted fine, like the fat off a steak cooked in a cast-iron skillet.
Maybe you got a bad cook or maybe your superego was making you dislike it. Who knows.
The only good pirate is a dead pirate. That includes those eco-freaks of the sea.

That’s what I remember about it. Thinking back, a little Tony Chacerey’s would have helped…I still prefer a sea turtle sancocho…
An OWS (Oil Water Separator) is definitely not a thing of the past.
Capacity Plate may not be the correct term, but there is a maximum capacity throughput.
I’m looking at my manual right now. 2.2 GPM (that’ better than 3100 gallons in 24 hours) at the normal flow setting and on the Hi-Flow setting it’s capable of close to 600 GPM.
This is a state-of the-art, brand new unit, had to have cost big bucks. Outfitted with extra filters, a heater and a polisher.
ABS Class required equipment.
Company policy doesn’t allow me to actually put it in service. monthly testing only.
When the slop tanks are full we pump 'em out to a shore facility.
OWS’s come in various capacities. My vessel has a 5M3/Hr (~1300 US Gallons per hour) OWS that is used on every voyage. When operating in the tropics we generate between 5 to 10 cubic meters of water from our Main Engine’s scavenge air every day and it is processed overboard with this unit.
As others have pointed out the premise of this thread is incorrect as there is no evidence of them pumping the oily water over the side and not using an OWS.

Jeez, gimme a break. The capacity is shown on the name plate attached to the unit. Take it in context, the OP probably didn’t read the manual on TV.
You said “context”. Uh huh huh huh uh.
for the whale meat taste testers hopefully you weren’t eating contaminated dolphin meat.
Last time i check pirates board your boat, kill everyone that isn’t worth ransom, and pilfer what they can.
Watson wants to look intimidating and it works.
they are definitely not pirates though.
they haven’t shot at anybody or hijacked a ship.
Watson makes a good point when he points out there is no international police force to enforce an international law on the ban on whaling.
If the Antarctic had game wardens i don’t think the Japs would have the same “quotas” for “research”.
if it is truly research unused specimens should be discarded back into the sea from which they came.
fouling a prop on a Jap harpoon ship that probably already has dive gear and a stby diver on it is not threatening lives. just slowing them down. the Japs are aware of the tactic. would you not prepare for that one ahead of time during refit?
i agree all pirates should be executed, and heads put on display at nearest ports of refuge but throwing stink bombs and harassing the crap out of the Japs is not piracy

Lets examine this more closely…
pi·rate (pī′rət)
noun
at·tack [uh-tak]
verb (used with object)
Pretty much sums it up, he’s a pirate. (Even if it is a just cause)
I think terrorist is a more appropriate term…
