Yep, that's right. Change oil in a diesel engine or whatever, plus the dirty filters, right into the ocean.
Even in remote parts of the ocean you can see stuff floating or just below the surface. One time we saw a huge something on the horizon.

Left it alone and went on our way because didn't know what might be inside if we fired at it.

 

Millions of wooden pallets. Once they get their supplies at sea; the supplies are taken off the pallets and the pallets thrown overboard.

 

It's fun to paint a mop handle black, then throw the mop overboard when there's other ships behind. If you're lucky, someone freaks out and reports a periscope, then all kinds of crap starts happening.
