Waste Transfer Note signed on every handover
1
Collect at the quayside
Full tanks come ashore on the CTV / OSV. Our team meets the vessel, load the sealed tanks and signs the Duty of Care Waste Transfer Note on handover.
Griffin collects welfare waste tanks at the quayside, carries them under full Duty of Care to our treatment facility, recovers clean water from the waste, and returns sanitised tanks ready for the next shift offshore. No bags. No consumables. One audit trail.
A toilet that wraps every use in plastic is not a green toilet.
Many offshore welfare units on the market today use dry-flush cartridges. Each use is twisted and sealed inside a proprietary multi-layer barrier film; a cartridge holds roughly fifteen uses and must then be lifted out and disposed of — waste, film, plastic ring and all — as bagged offensive waste.
The film is non-degradable by design (it has to be, to contain the contents safely), the cartridges are a recurring consumable paid for on every shift, and the water in the waste is never recovered. The bag goes into the general waste stream and nothing comes back.

Welfare waste that doesn't end up in your ESG footnotes
No bagged human waste on service vessels.
Sealed DIN-compliant tanks, lifted once at the quay. Cleaner vessels, simpler MARPOL compliance.
Waste hierarchy, evidenced
Recovery, not disposal — with the permit numbers and tonnage records to prove it at audit.
UK designed, UK treated
Patented welfare units built in the UK, serviced from our bases within reach of O&M ports.
Any make of welfare unit
We service and sanitise welfare cabins, tanks and waste products from all manufacturers — not only Liftaloos.
No cartridges to stock, ship or run out of offshore.
Collection, carriage, treatment and tank servicing under one roof. One phone number when something needs sorting.
2
Carry under licence
Transported in our own vehicles as a registered waste carrier under the Section 34 Duty of Care code of practice, straight to the treatment facility.
3
Decant and sanitise
Tanks are emptied by vacuum, then pressure-cleaned, chemically sanitised, inspected and recharged as required with suitable chemical. Seals and valves are checked and replaced where needed.
4
Separate and recover water
Solids are filtered out to 35 ppm. The liquid then passes through reverse osmosis, giving clean water for re-use on site and a small concentrate stream disposed of under consent.
5
Return to service
Serviced tanks go back to the quay for the next crew change. Your HSE manager receives the completed Transfer Note and a service record for every tank.
Many offshore welfare units on the market today use dry-flush cartridges. Each use is twisted and sealed inside a proprietary multi-layer barrier film; a cartridge holds roughly fifteen uses and must then be lifted out and disposed of — waste, film, plastic ring and all — as bagged offensive waste.
The film is non-degradable by design (it has to be, to contain the contents safely), the cartridges are a recurring consumable paid for on every shift, and the water in the waste is never recovered. The bag goes into the general waste stream and nothing comes back.
We handle the whole cycle ourselves — no sub-contracted bin lift, no unknown end point. Every tank that leaves the quay comes back serviced, and every litre of liquid waste is treated at our permitted facility.
One tank. One contractor. One audit trail.
