Sin embargo, veamos qué dice al respecto la Marine Guidance Note MGN 489 (M) "Pleasure Vessels - UK Regulations" británica (las negritas son mías):
"Although no specific provisions are made in the regulations for vessels less than 400GT, pleasure vessels should consider the impact when discharging sewage from a sea toilet or holding tank into the sea. Best practice advice is to return all waste generated on board to shore waste reception facilities but this is not always possible or practical. Holding tanks if fitted should be used and should only be emptied at pump out stations or when more than 3 miles offshore in the open sea where waste will be quickly diluted and dispersed by wave action and currents. On vessels without a holding tank avoid the use of toilets in poor tidal flushing areas such as estuaries, inland waterways, inlets and crowded anchorages by using marina/shore facilities whenever possible."
Es decir, los ingleses se basan en el sentido común y la responsabilidad de los patrones. Aquí es la arbitrariedad, seguida de garrotazo y tentetieso.
