I don't know now, but I do recall Canadian ships having incinerators onboard in the late 1970s. I remember listening on the scanner when the Hamilton Harbourmaster called the Tarantau, which was anchored in Burlington Bay, about a "fire" a shoreline resident had spotted onboard their ship. The captain said they had their incinerator in operation at the time.
At least the shoreline resident didn't call the fire department like a Toronto resident did when the Robert S. Pierson (coal burner) was docked at one of the elevators in the early 1980s!
