OWNER'S MANUAL
9.0 ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
The boat owner is responsible for following local environment laws and to reduce
pollution caused by:
✓
fuel and oil
✓
garbage
✓
noise
✓
waves
✓
exhaust
✓
septic/black water
✓
chemicals and antifouling
•
Ensure that bilge water is clean before pumping out.
•
The risk of pollution from the boat is increased during refuelling, servicing or
bilge pumping.
When refuelling, be careful not to overfill the tank. If oil/fuel is
spilled, remove it instantly using an absorbent sheet or pad. Always keep a small
quantity of oil/fuel absorbent material on the boat for instant use if needed. Never
use detergents or emulsifiers to deal with oil/fuel spills.
•
Do not discharge toilets or holding tanks close to shore or in any prohibited zone.
Use harbour or marina pump-out facilities to empty the holding tank before leaving
the harbour.
•
Be encouraged to use environmentally compatible products in the operation and
maintenance of the boat.
•
Prevent and discourage hull cleaning or any other underwater process that is likely
to remove anti-fouling or any other deleterious material to the marine environment.
•
Use low or non-phosphate soaps.
•
Wipe cooking utensils and plates clean with a paper towel before washing-up.
•
Collect all your rubbish on board and dispose it properly ashore (including cigarette
butts).
Be aware of international regulations against marine pollution (Marpol) and
respect them as much as possible.
