The New South Wales Marine Pollution Regulation 2014 prohibits the discharge of untreated sewage from any vessels into any navigable waters, or onto the bank or bed of any navigable waters, unless the sewage is discharged or deposited into a waste collection facility.

Many other regions may have similar regulations. Providing sewage pump-out facilities at marinas significantly reduces the harmful effects of directly discharging sewage from boats into the water, either from portable toilets or from holding tanks. But there are different types of pump-out facilities available in the market. What do marinas need to consider and look out for in the blackwater pump-out system?

Presenter: Andrew Chapman CMM, Gulf Marina Management

This webinar will cover:

  • Considerations when choosing a pump-out system for your facility
  • Comparison of pump-out systems
  • Legal and environmental considerations (based on Australian regulations)
