Study Notes
Carbon Emissions
- The shipping industry significantly contributes to global greenhouse gas emissions.
- The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has established ambitious targets aimed at reducing these emissions substantially.
- Meeting these targets demands transformative changes in fuel types and ship designs, emphasizing innovation and environmental responsibility.
Waterway Pollution
- Ships frequently discharge various pollutants, including oil, chemicals, and waste, directly into ocean waters.
- Such discharges can have catastrophic effects on marine ecosystems, adversely affecting biodiversity and the health of marine life.
Air Pollution
- In addition to carbon dioxide, shipping vessels emit harmful gases such as sulfur oxides (SOx) and nitrogen oxides (NOx).
- These emissions are responsible for deteriorating air quality and contributing to the occurrence of acid rain.
- Recent regulations are compelling the industry to adopt cleaner fuels and innovative technologies to reduce air pollution.
