Under the Boat Safety Scheme and general good practice for inland/coastal leisure craft, what should be done with toilet (sewage) waste when near the shore or in a marina?

A. Direct discharge overboard is always acceptable regardless of location

B. Use a holding tank (where fitted) and pump out at a designated facility, or use shoreside toilets — direct discharge close to shore, in marinas, or in specific no-discharge zones is restricted precisely because of the public health and environmental impact of raw sewage in enclosed or shallow waters

C. Holding tanks are only required on vessels used exclusively for racing

D. Sewage discharge rules apply only to vessels with more than 10 berths

A. Nothing — a test lift can proceed immediately after repairs

B. The area within the grab's swing radius should be cleared of personnel before the lift

C. Testing should wait until cargo operations begin

D. Only the crane operator needs to be aware the lift is happening

A. Only the weather forecast for the next watch

B. The lunch schedule for the deck team

C. Who must remain clear of the exclusion zone while the lift takes place

D. The cargo manifest for the next port
