Application Details

    1. Applicant Permit Application: 2019-016
    Ashley Perrin, Antarctic Ice Pilot, for SY Destination, 14 
Washington Ave., San Rafael, CA 94903.

Activity for Which Permit Is Requested

    Waste Management. The applicant is requesting a permit for waste 
management activities associated with operating the yacht, SY 
Destination, in the Antarctic Treaty area for three weeks in January 
2019. The cruise program would consist of a one-time voyage to 
Antarctica with operations in the Southern Ocean, Antarctic Peninsula 
region, and the South Shetland Islands. The applicant expects there to 
be a total of thirteen people total aboard the vessel during the 
voyage. Activities would include sightseeing, small boat cruising, 
brief shore excursions, polar plunging, snorkeling/diving, and 
operation of a remotely piloted aircraft system (RPAS) as a 
navigational and safety aid. The RPAS would consist of a small, camera-
equipped quadcopter, operated by an experienced pilot, within visual 
line of sight, under fair weather conditions, and according to best 
operating practices. The yacht has an onboard sewage treatment plant 
that meets MARPOL standards. All food waste and garbage would be 
collected, maintained onboard the vessel, and properly disposed of 
outside the Treaty area. Best practices would be employed to mitigate 
the risk of accidental releases to the environment.
