Marine goods transfer provides an efficient form of long-distance large-volume transport. However, despite technical advances and lowered emissions per kilometers and ton transported, its environmental impact continues to be a significant source of contaminants and contributes significantly to the degradation of the natural environment. Over recent years, in fact, a variety of different types of marine pollution from vessels has drawn more and more public attention. This has been recognized as a growing problem by both policymakers, jurists and scientists and has resulted in an increasing number of rules and regulations being established by international, national and local legislators

Marine goods transfer provides an efficient form of long-distance large-volume transport.

Over recent years, in fact, a variety of different types of marine pollution from vessels has drawn more and more public attention.
