What is slop barge?

A slop barge is a type of vessel designed to transport liquid waste or slop, typically generated from oil rigs or maritime operations. These barges collect and store waste materials, such as bilge water, oil, and other hazardous liquids, before transporting them to designated treatment facilities or disposal sites. Slop barges play a crucial role in environmental protection by ensuring that waste is managed safely and in compliance with regulations.
