“Vessels equipped with bilge pumps must have the bilge pump activation control clearly labelled. Automatic bilge pumps with overboard discharge must not discharge oily water in Canadian waters without proper treatment.”
View official regulation text✓Plain English
Your bilge pump switch or activation button must be labelled "BILGE PUMP" so any crew member can find and use it in an emergency. If your bilge pump discharges overboard, a "NO OILY WATER DISCHARGE" reminder label helps crew stay compliant with Canadian no-discharge rules.
