MARPOL Convention

The MARPOL Convention is an international agreement aimed at reducing pollution from ships, ensuring they operate more safely and environmentally friendly. It sets rules to prevent ships from releasing oil, garbage, chemicals, sewage, and air emissions into the ocean. By doing so, MARPOL helps protect marine life, coastal communities, and the overall health of our oceans. Ships around the world follow these guidelines to minimize environmental harm, promoting sustainable maritime practices and ensuring that maritime transportation does not negatively impact the environment.
