Type III
Type III MSDs provide no treatment and are either holding tanks or portable toilets. Collected waste should be taken ashore and disposed of in a pump-out station or onshore toilet.
Type I Marine Sanitation Devices tends to have the least impact on the environment.
A Type III Marine Sanitation Device must have a closed and secured Y valve when boating on inland waters.
Type III marine sanitation devices (MSDs), which are holding tanks, have the least effect on the environment. They do not discharge waste into the water but instead store it until it can be properly disposed of at designated pump-out facilities. This ensures that sewage is managed responsibly, minimizing pollution and protecting marine ecosystems.
A marine sanitation device is possibly a net or fluid of some sort that soaks up oils on the surface. Large harbors have small tugboats for this purpose that use a trapping net device to clean up spilled oil from freighters.
A Type III Marine Sanitation Device must have a closed and secured Y valve when boating on inland waters.
Close the Y valve with a non-reusable seal to prevent the discharge of untreated waste from a Type I or Type II marine sanitation device MSD.
