The Environmentally Friendly Ship

As the 21st century progresses, extensive global legislation and innovation centres on environmental protection. The focus of the international marine industry has been shifting greatly towards the design and operation of vessels which minimize their environmental impact.New regulations are coming into effect, regarding the reduction of all forms of emissions and waste from marine vessels. Increasing fuel prices and environmental concerns have again highlighted the benefit that reduced fuel consumption can bring to the ship operator. Groundbreaking designs and innovative technology is being introduced daily, which will eventually lead to zero-impact shipping.
