It happened so, that for some time I was attached to the Navy and 'enjoyed a sea journey' in South Atlantic somewhere in 1982. So I know a bit of this subject and this thread is of a special pleasure for me as it brings me back to the years of my relative youth. Thank you Elessar for starting it.
A personal question to you - how do you guess why Russian Mariners never spit and throw the cigarettes' butts into the Ocean?

Indifferent alike to praise or blame
Give heed, O Muse, but to the voice Divine
Fearing not injury, nor seeking fame,
Nor casting pearls to swine.
