USCG AND SOLAS COMPLIANT TRASH RECEPTACLE / WASTE BINS
Ensure fire safety onboard with SOLAS-compliant non-combustible trash bins
The U.S. Coast Guard has intensified its focus on fire safety aboard vessels following tragic incidents, such as the 2019 dive boat Conception fire. The message is clear: fire hazards from combustible trash bins can no longer be ignored.
Why fire-safe trash bins are non-negotiable
Open flames and combustible waste bins pose a significant fire risk on vessels. To mitigate this, marine safety alert 07-23 and SOLAS regulations mandate the use of non-combustible trash receptacles to ensure safety at sea. Non-compliance not only endangers lives but also leads to costly penalties and operational downtime.
What SOLAS says
Under SOLAS 74/78, chapter II-2, regulation 4.2:
- Waste receptacles must be made of non-combustible materials.
- They must have no openings on the sides or bottom.
Compliance is mandatory, and achieving it requires bins constructed to exacting standards, rigorously tested and certified to withstand fire hazards.
