XIV. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION & SAFETY
We recommend you to find out about local regulations concerning respect for the environment,
and to obey international regulations against pollution in the marine environment (MARPOL),
together with the codes of good practice.
Do not discharge the toilets or the contents of the holding tanks near coasts or in prohibited areas;
use port or marina pumping systems for emptying the holding tanks before leaving port.

● Most cleaning products, engine oils and fuels are likely to impact the environment, so they
should be discharged in authorized locations (check wi
th the Harbor Master’s office).
● Do not run the bilge pump when oil or fuel is present in the engine compartment, as these
chemicals must be discharged in authorized locations.
● Certain products can also pose a risk to your safety and that of others, which is why it is
important to read and follow the instructions for use.
● Chemicals must be labeled and stored in an appropriate place on the boat.
