Discharge of Oil or Hazardous Substances
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act prohibits the discharge of oil or hazardous
substances, which may be harmful, into or upon U.S. navigable waters. Vessels 26 feet (7.9m) in
length or over must display a placard at least 5” x 8” (12.7cm x 20.3cm) with the text shown
below. If your boat is 26 feet or greater in length, an adhesive backed label that meets these
requirements is provided in your owner’s packet. It is your responsibility to display this placard
on the vessel in a conspicuous place in the machinery space or at the bilge pump control.
Disposal of Plastics or Garbage
The MARPOL ANNEX V is the Act to prevent pollution from ships and other vessels.
Federal regulations prohibit the discharge of plastic garbage anywhere in the marine environment.
Plastic includes, but is not limited to: synthetic fishing nets, ropes, lines, straws, six pack holders,
styrofoam cups and lids, bottles, buckets and plastic bags. These regulations also restrict the
disposal of other types of garbage within specified boundaries from shore. Any vessel 26 feet
(7.9m) and over must display the placard below or a similar version at least 4” x 9” (10.2cm x
22.9cm) which details the regulations. If your boat is 26 feet or greater in length, an adhesive
backed label that meets these requirements is provided in your owner’s packet. It is your
responsibility to display this placard on the vessel in a prominent location readily accessible to
crew and passengers.
