Shipping transports about 90% of global trade, being thus the main mode of transport. International Maritime Organization (IMO) has set a number of legal instruments that regulate environmental issues, related to shipping, such as the following:
- International Convention for the Prevention of
Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) - OPRC Convention and its 2000 OPRC-HNS
Protocol on oil pollution preparedness, response
and co-operation - Hong Kong Convention on safe and
environmentally sound recycling of ships
