Becoming aware of the five main types of pollution in the marine environment and the conventions that are employed to deal with this is crucial. This not only helps with the environment, but the knowledge is also required for the correct certification needed under MARPOL.


Pollution from ships at sea has very serious environmental consequences. In response to the concerns about the environment the IMO, adopted MARPOL 73/78, which outlines pollution control measures in six Technical Annexes. Focussing on the origins of the MARPOL 73/78 Convention and identifying each of the six annexes or sections of the Marpol convention, this module describes pollution control measures in each Marpol Annex.
