5. CORPORATE KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE

5.1 Water Supplies

a . Water consumption should be kept to a minimum whilst at sea as water supplies areat a premium. This is particulary important where for operational reasonson–board water production is reduced e.g. noise reduction.

b . Reduction of water usage, by whatever means possible has the added benefit ofreducing the overall environmental impact.
