Abstract
The embodiments herein relate to a system for discharging a waste fluid from a floating unit (100) adapted to float in a body of water (103). The system is adapted to discharge said waste fluid to said body of water (103) surrounding the floating unit (100). The system comprises a mooring line compartment (105) adapted to accommodate at least part of a mooring line (108) for the floating unit (100) and a discharge portion (115) adapted to discharge the waste fluid into the mooring line compartment (105). The system comprises an outlet (113) adapted to discharge the waste fluid from the mooring line compartment (105) to the body of water (103).
