This year, NSC has provided members with oil absorbing pads for their bilges. Any member with an inboard engine can collect their absorbents from the Office. The goal of this initiative is to absorb minor fuel leaks prior to entering the harbour.
To dispose of these items, please only use the yellow bins marked Oil Absorbent Pads Only (pictured). These bins are located at the entrance/exit of our dock system.
