XIII. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND SECURITY
We invite you to keep abreast of local environmental regulations, and to comply with international
regulations against pollution in the marine Environment (MARPOL) and codes of good practice.
Do not unload the toilets or the contents of the retention tanks near the coasts or in prohibited areas
and use the port or marina pumping systems to empty the retention vessels before leaving the port.
ATTENTION !
• Most maintenance products, motor oils and hydrocarbons are not environmentally
neutral, so they must be discharged in regulated areas (check with the Harbour Master's
office).
• Do not start the bilge pump when there is oil or hydrocarbon in the engine compartment
as it is necessary to unload these products in regulated areas.
• Some products may also pose a risk to your safety and that of others, so it is important
to read and follow the instructions for use.
• The substances used must be labelled and stored in a suitable location on the vessel.
XIV. SECURITY WEAPONS
Compulsory security armament is not harmonised within the European Community. You should be
informed about the national regulations in force for the vessels marked CE.
Pleasure craft bearing the CE marking must have on board the equipment for the navigation category
under the responsibility of the boatman.
Your boat is equipped with a location to store a life raft. The crew must be familiar with the use of all
safety equipment (harness, rocket, life raft, etc...); sailing schools and clubs regularly organize
training sessions.
