Under MARPOL Annex V, the discharge of food waste into the sea is heavily regulated. Within Special Areas, no untreated food waste may be discharged at all.
Vessels must grind waste to particles under 25mm
Or process it entirely onboard before port disposal
Sharp marine systems do both — fully compliant
