Every marina or harbour are equipped with dedicated areas for the disposal of toxic waste. It is recommended not to scatter waste that can contaminate the environment (such as used oil, fuel, oily liquids, batteries, etc..).
When working in the engine room, switch off the magneto-thermal switches to the bilge pumps, to prevent accidental discharge of fuels, lubricants and other liquids.

For the type of fuel to be used, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Diesel engines require very clean fuel. Keep filters clean.

The bilges of the engine room must always be kept clean, so that fuel or oil leaks or penetrations from the engines or the generators can be easily noticed.
If leaks are noticed, it is necessary to stop the engines and to let them cool and only afterward, if possible, repair the leak.
Finally clean the bilges.

It is forbidden to discharge bilge water mixed with oil or diesel fuel into the sea, because this can cause of serious pollution.
Check periodically the level of possible oily waters contained into the collecting tanks under the engines, should their level be close to bilge overflooding, disconnect the circuit breakers switches of the bilge automatic pump system, to avoid accidental spills, until the tanks have been completely drained in accordance with the environmental legislation.
During the maintenance operation in the engine room, it is compulsory to disconnect the circuit breakers of the bilge pumps automatic suction system, avoiding in this way accidental spills.

During refuelling operations, do not approach open flames to the yacht; do not smoke. Carry out refuelling with engine shut off. The lack of consideration of these precautions can cause accidents and injuries.

Carry out the drainage procedure by each refilling.

Handle water mixed with fuel and dispose of it according to the rules in force. Use only authorized disposal procedures; in case of doubt, refer to the Port Authorities.

EXPLOSION/FIRE/POLLUTION DANGER
Fuel system connections that are too loose or too tight can leak, resulting in fuel loss, environmental pollution and explosion/fire danger.

It is forbidden to smoke, use naked flames or keep mobile phones switched on during refuelling.

We recommend periodically empty and clean the tank, least once a year.
Also keep in mind that the oil must be filtered reused.

EXPLOSION/FIRE DANGER

• Stow flammable material in a safety-approved container.
• Never stow flammable material in non-vented areas.
• Check bilge and engine room for fumes.
• Keep the ventilation system free of obstructions.
• Never modify the ventilation system.
• Inspect the fuel system for leaks.

The draining should never be conveyed to the bilge. If accidentally the draining is conveyed to the bilge, disconnect the bilge pumps and clean accurately.

During the refuelling operation ensure that vents are free and open inlet plug on the bulkhead opposite to the one in use, to avoid fuel spills. We also advise you to wash the teak in proximity of the plug with fresh water.

It is necessary to empty the fuel tank to the internal structural tank in case the yacht should be in storage or in the hull in dry condition.

Every marina has dedicated toxic waste disposal areas. It is recommended not to scatter waste that can contaminate the environment (such as used oil, fuel, oily liquids, batteries, etc..).
Prior to perform any job in the engine room, disconnect the bilge pumps switches, to prevent accidental fuel, lubricant or other liquid leaks and therefore the pollution of the yacht surrounding waters.

Pay attention not to accidentally damage fuel system lines.
Perform a visual inspection of all pipes periodically.
