On 15 April 2015, a Bernard Marine Discharge of Oil Prohibited ($4.29) and Discharge of Garbage Placard ($6.99) was ordered from the Defender's website. These were shipped to our balikbayan box consolidator and forwarder Manila Forwarder in Los Angles, California and received there on 24 April 2015. We received them in Naga City, Cebu on 23 June 2015.
We unfortunately discovered the Bernard Marine Discharge of Oil Prohibited Placard was not a placard, but a flimsy stick-on label. On 14 October 2015, we reordered a Bernard Marine Discharge of Oil Prohibited ($5.99) from the Defender's website. This was shipped to our balikbayan box consolidator and forwarder Manila Forwarder in Los Angles, California and received there on 22 October 2015. We received this in Naga City, Cebu on 28 December 2015. This error in ordering the incorrect placard highlights the logistical time delay encountered here in the Philippines - not an idea location to attempt a refit of a boat.
These placards were not installed until the cabin top sides were repainted.
The Discharge of Oil Prohibited placard was installed on the port-side cabin top wall by the galley.
The Discharge of Garbage placard was installed on the aft cabin top wall of the galley area.
