Securing Marine Environmental Compliance with StoraFUEL Infrastructure

Atlantis Tanks recently partnered with the Joint Services Adventurous Sail Training Centre (JSASTC), coordinating directly with Kevin Verity at their coastal facility on Haslar Road in Gosport. The project required a secure, regulation-compliant waste oil containment solution engineered to withstand coastal conditions while streamlining routine vessel maintenance.

To address these requirements, we supplied a 1300 Litre Plastic Bunded Low Profile Waste Oil Tank from our StoraFUEL range. The installation provides an environmentally secure, durable disposal point designed to prevent fluid cross-contamination and support ongoing maritime training operations.

Engineering Specifications: 1300L Low Profile StoraFUEL System

The unit provides dependable containment in high-exposure maritime environments while adhering to UK oil storage regulations.

• Capacity Metrics: 1300 Litre storage capacity.

• Dimensions: 1845mm (L) x 1250mm (W) x 1200mm (H).

• Structural Material: Manufactured from tough, high-grade polyethylene plastic designed for long-term impact and weather resistance.

• Secondary Containment: Fully bunded construction featuring a lockable outer bund lid to protect against rainwater ingress, site debris, and unauthorized tampering.

• Pouring & Ingress Architecture: Integrated yellow tundish area engineered for clean, spill-free oil pouring and visual identification.

Technical Instrumentation and Integrated Monitoring

Safe handling of hazardous runoff and used lubricants demands precise real-time oversight. The JSASTC unit incorporates dedicated instrumentation to prevent overfilling and ensure timely collection:

• Tank Contents Monitoring: Integrated Apollo Ultra Sonic XT Tank Contents Gauge for accurate ultrasonic measurement of fluid levels.

• High-Level Overfill Alert: Dedicated Battery High Level Alarm calibrated for plastic oil tanks, providing early visual and audible notification before maximum capacity is reached.

• Environmental Security: The lockable outer bund enclosure shields all service points, ensuring hazardous waste remains sealed in compliance with environmental containment standards.

Turnkey Logistics, Decommissioning, and Delivery

To manage the asset lifecycle from start to finish, Atlantis Tanks coordinated delivery through our dedicated Atlantis Delivery Service – StoraFUEL.

Alongside the supply of the new system, we managed the safe removal of redundant on-site infrastructure via our Tank Collection Service. Tailored for decommissioned units, this process required the legacy tank to be emptied, sectioned on site, and inspected prior to removal, ensuring safe disposal and zero site disruption.
