Your vessel’s marine sanitation device (MSD) is a piece of equipment that has specifically been designed to treat and discharge your sewage in a safe—and compliant—manner. Not only is your MSD important for keeping you and your crew safe and sanitary, but it’s also vital for helping you avoid pesky and expensive Coast Guard fines.
If your MSD isn’t working properly, you’re going to need to fix it. However, there are some times when you don’t need a fix—instead, you need a new MSD. These devices don’t last forever! Even high-quality marine sanitation devices have an expiration date.
Updating or even upgrading your MSD on a regular basis is crucial for the health and safety of your vessel. By keeping your MSD up to date or even getting a better one, you’ll avoid myriad unsanitary scenarios. You’ll be better able to keep up with the growing needs of your crew. And, because you’ll be complying with boat sewage regulations and avoiding fines, you’ll be helping out your bottom line.
