Subject: Muds treatment of careenage area
From: Rufus
I assume you want to know how the various products and waste materials
from boat work are handled? I don't know the situation for yards working
on large commercial vessels. In small yards servicing small private
pleasure craft (up to 100 feet) in the USA it varies by the city and
county - IOW, 5 miles away, the required procedures may be completely
different. Some yards require all work with toxics to be preformed by
ther own employees, citing environmental concerns. Some yards have
installed settling sumps and oil and grease traps. Some require that
only chemical strippers be used when removing bottom paint, and that
tarps be placed under the boat and all waste be caught and disposed of
by special contractors. However these strict rules are rare, and many
yards allow owners to pretty much perform any work any way, as long as
they don't cause trouble with other customers in the yard.

Since someone was nice enough to clarifiy the definition of careeening for me:
""Careening" is an old English term. It means listing the vessel to access
the hull and applied in Nelson's days. You weighted the vessel on one side
to induce a list so that barnacles and other growth could be removed to
increase the vessel's efficiency without the need for drydocking. It was an
oft-used practice, drydocking being difficult, expensive and often
unavailable - thesre were, after all, the days before antifouling was
invented.
"Carenage" is a French term for 'craneage area', 'craning' - the place where
boats are hauled ashore."
I guess he wants to know what happens to the mud/sand around a careened vessel
after that vessels hull has been cleaned.
