Global Climate Change is a scam but this is bullshit. They can legally and environmentally safely discharge bilge at port but the happy merchant needs that boat moving to the next port so let's dump the shit overboard.

Climate change propaganda is a diversion from what they are doing.

Climate Change aka the Goyim Tax.

Wealth redistribution. Obama pledged a trillion US tax dollars to aid our economic competitors. All under the banner of climate change. See Paris Accords. He didn't even legally sign us up.

Cruise ships do this all the time too.

Also, dumped right onto a sightseeing boat from a bridge.

He was sentenced to 18 months of probation, as well as 150 hours of community service and paid a fine of $10,000 to Friends of the Chicago River, an environmental organization responsible for maintaining the river. The Dave Matthews Band donated an additional $50,000 to Friends of the Chicago River, as well as $50,000 to the Chicago Park District, and paid the State of Illinois $200,000 as a settlement.

Ain't that some jewish shit? You're on a tour boat with hundreds of other people when you get soaked with human shit and urine. The perpetrator is sentenced to donate money to the government and their friends' non-profits. You get nothing.

There is a large amount of emotional manipulation with this video. Let's talk about bilge water being dumped, but make sure that we put stock pictures of straight crude oil spills and cute animals covered in oil to get the point across. Actual bilge slicks are usually just a sheen, but that won't change minds now will it.

All documentaries have some level of emotional manipulation but the whole idea of dumping your shit in the ocean instead of spending a few extra hours in port is the definition of pure lazy.

Yes, but in this video they heavily imply that the videos of heavy oil spills are the bilge dumps, however that is almost certainly not the case. I do agree though it is completely lazy not to dispose of it properly as its a legal requirement, I'm sure it only requires hooking a hose to the dock.

According to my boating class it is perfectly legal as long as you're more than 3 miles out from the coast.

I wonder where the fish shit?

When I was in the navy, we used portable bilge pumps - aka “wizbangs” - because often times we couldn’t draw enough vacuum to pump down a bilge with the installed pump. So instead of having 2 or 3 feet or water sloshing around in the bilge we would use a wizbang to pump some of the water to another bilge or to a holding tank. So I call bullshit on the video for a bilge pump being some sort of contraband item that shouldn’t be there.

That being said, I’m sure these assholes discharge oily water when they are in international waters because it cost $$ to process.

All boats and vessels have to store their sewage until they can safely dispose of it at an onshore or mobile pumpout facility, or hold it until # it can be discharged in the open ocean beyond three miles from shore.

Sewage and bilge water (would be classified as waste water) are two very different things. Bilgewater (aka waste water) can only go overboard once it goes through treatment to remove oil (oily water separator). And you can only do that at more than 20 miles from shore.

Sewage can be dumped after it is treated (Marine Sanitation Device) I believe after 3 miles. And then straight sewage can go overboard after 20 miles.

Within three miles (5 km) of shore, Annex IV requires that sewage discharges be treated by a certified MSD prior to discharge. Between three and 12 miles (19 km) from shore, sewage discharges must be treated by no less than maceration or chlorination; sewage discharges beyond 12 miles (19 km) from shore are unrestricted.

(12 nautical miles), contiguous zone (24nm), and exclusive economic zone (200nm, plus maritime boundaries with adjacent/opposite countries).

Rules change a bit at 65ft and 80ft length boats. And more relaxed for personal use smaller craft.

Thanks for the indepth info. Memorizing these rules is damn near impossible. That's why cards are hanging in the engine spaces for this reason.

When I lived on a sailboat a few years ago, my shit went straight overboard, in harbor. Nobody dindu nuffin about it. And I swam in the water every day. I ate fish I caught in that water. I din give a fuck.

Every cruise ship does the same but also weighs down their trash and dumps it as well.

We used to dump the bilge when we went by a Navy Ship since Navy ships are not restricted from dumping their bilges.
