SURVEY AND EVALUATION OF MARINE SANITATION DEVICES

This is a study of available marine sanitation devices (MSD) and a technical evaluation of how these systems will interface with 14 representative vessels. The objective of this study was to perform an extensive survey and technical description of the various individual sanitation devices currently marketed or under development for installation onboard federal, commercial, and/or recreational watercraft, as well as to evaluate the applicability and potential impact of marine sanitation concepts and individual systems relative to these vessels. The evaluation considered the interactions and impact of the concepts and systems on the major installation constraints, operating characteristics, and capital/operating costs of each representative vessel.
