Vessels shall not discharge sewage overboard in an area designated as
no discharge. Type I or II flow-through MSD must be properly
secured while the vessel is in a no-discharge area to prevent any
overboard discharged of treated or untreated sewage such as:
- Closing the seacock and padlocking, using a non releasable wire-tie,
or removing the seacock handle.
- Locking the door to the head with the key in possession of the
owner/operator.
- A combination of switches that have to be pressed
simultaneously.
- Switches that can only be turned on after inserting a key.
Portable toilets are not considered installed devices and not subject
to the regulations. Sewage from protable toilets may NOT be
dumped overboard in U.S. waters. |
