Environmental Performance: Improvements to Energy Efficiency of Ship Engine Oil
Graph to show the Oil consumed per hour by a ship on average and how this has varied over time
Environmental Performance: Reduction in the Quantity of Spilled Oil
The amount of oil spilled by ships varies from year to year and figures for a particular year can be distorted by a single large incident. However, in general terms, shipping has shown a marked downward trend in the amount of oil spilled each year.
Environmental Performance: Comparison of CO2 Emissions by Different Modes of Transport
The shipping industry is a small contributor to the total volume of atmospheric emissions compared to road vehicles and air transport (see graph below) as well as public utilities such as power stations, and atmospheric pollution from ships has reduced in the last decade.
Safety and Regulation: Lives Lost at Sea
As in all transport sectors, lives are sadly lost as a result of accidents at sea. Disappointingly, there has been a rise in fatal accidents in the last two years, although the loss of life in shipping is in fact relatively modest, and the overall trend is one of reduction in the number of fatalities, which is all the more impressive in view of the growth in the number of ships in the world fleet.
Safety and Regulation: Reduction in the Number of Ship Losses
Relatively few ships actually sink at sea. The vast majority of the following "losses" simply refer to ships which are damaged and "written off" by the hull insurers as being beyond economical repair - described by underwriters as "total constructive losses".
The Principal Regulations Governing Maritime Safety
The following are the major international shipping conventions, adopted by the International Maritime Organization (and the International Labour Organization) concerning safety and pollution prevention.
Responding to the challenges of COVID-19
The outbreak of COVID-19 has brought unprecedented disruption to the shipping industry, and requires a collective, solution-driven approach
Treating Ships Ballast Water 2020
Invasive marine organisms carried in ships’ ballast water can wreak havoc on local ecosystems. New mandatory systems to manage the disposal of this water will drastically cut the risk
