15. TOILET OPERATION
Refer to schematic drawing L38/4.4800/866.
THERE SHALL BE NO DISCHARGE OF WASTE INTO THE SEA WITHIN 12 NAUTICAL
MILES OF THE SHORE.
The toilet system is arranged so that the toilets are pumped into a holding tank.
If the holding tank discharge seacock (positioned under the aft step of the corridor steps)
is open, the tank gravity drains overboard. If this valve is closed, waste is stored in the
holding tank.
The holding tank can be emptied by draining overboard (NOT WITHIN 12NM LIMIT) or by
using a dockside pump-out connected to the deck pump-out waste fitting.
The capacity of the tank is 70 litres each side. The flushing is 2 litres per flush, which
gives 35 flushes per side. Indicator lights will show on the control board when the tank is
full.
The holding tanks may be flushed. If cleaning is required only use ecologically friendly
materials.
