Hot Sale Shipping And The Environment: A Guide To Environmental Compliance, 5th Edition Pro Version [VMS5NlU2]

Description

From alternative fuels and propulsion systems, via energy-efficient practices, to digitalization and efficient logistics, many possibilities are emerging to make the shipping industry a greener industry. Shipping and the Environment gives shipping companies and seafarers a comprehensive entry point into the vast range of regulatory and operational considerations designed to reduce shipping’s environmental footprint, including:  

• Key environmental topics related to shipping;
• The rules and systems governing them;   
• How environmental issues are managed at sea and ashore;
• How improvements can be delivered at sea and ashore; and 
• Future developments. 

This guide will help crew members understand the relationship between shipping and the environment, and the importance for everyone involved in shipping to respect the environment in their daily operations. Superintendents will benefit from a comprehensive overview of current and upcoming global regulatory framework, including the most recent updates to MARPOL Annex VI, the introduction of the EU Emissions Trading System, and national regulations that affect global shipping. Checklists are included to help shipping companies ensure the safety management system is in line with current environmental requirements, and that all ships are operating in line with environmental regulations. 

This fifth edition builds on the success of the previous edition, Shipping and the Environment: A Code of Practice, Fourth Edition, which has sold more than 10,000 copies.
