REPLACE SINGLE-USE PLASTIC
Abandon single-use PVC shopping bags and opt for canvas bags or durable bags for multiple uses. Pick your free canvas bag at the signing of the annual berth contract or buy a new one in our Nautic shop. Quit using single-use plastic tableware such as plates, cutlery, cups and straws and replace them with better and more durable alternatives. These will be heavier and harder to be swept off by the wind. Use bowls to serve potato chips, cookies and fruit and dispose of their light packaging (plastic bags and fruit nets) into the waste bin, as they are easily blown off the deck. Ensure all deck equipment is stored correctly or tied up, so it doesn’t end up overboard.
USE A BILGE SKIMMER
It is common to find some oil in bilge waters pumped out by the bilge pump. A sponge is placed in the bilge to attract and lock oil and fuel, i.e., purifying the bilge water and making it safe for the environment. That sponge is called a bilge skimmer, and you can get it in our Nautical shop at a 10% discount with your Marina Club Card.
EMPTY YOUR WASTEWATER TANK FOR FREE
While at the marina, you are likely using the benefit of our bathrooms and taking advantage of our restaurant kitchen. Still, once you sail out and your bathroom gets more traffic, your wastewater tank can fill up rather quickly. Do not empty it at the open sea, for the soap water and detergents are harmful to sea life. Instead, empty your wastewater tank, free of charge, as soon as you return to the marina. Make sure it is unloaded before hauling up the vessel (for dry berth or repairs) to avoid unpleasant incidents when wastewater suddenly leaks. Emptying wastewater tanks is a quick procedure, and it is free of charge, both for resident vessels and boats in transit. It is done while the vessel is floating in the service area, near thepier A1, to avoid disturbing the neighbouring yachts at berth. Schedule your wastewater disposal at least one day ahead at our Reception or via e-mail info@marina-punat.hr
