Conflict Resolution Processes In Relation To Shipping In General
Cargo Ships - Some companies' small sub-corporations combine with larger ones that are delivering to the same place to reduce their carbon footprint by up to 66%. Companies are also re-using their previous containers.
The World Shipping Council (WSC) NPO (Non-Profit Organisation) stated in 2013 that cargo shipping is the most carbon efficient mode of transport. The members of the WSC have engaged in a number of tasks to decrease the amount of carbon dioxide emissions that are being spread into the ocean. They have actively signed and supported the development of a global policy that is still yet to be placed in action. They all go through the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) IGO (Inter-Governmental Organisation).
The members of the WSC believe that the best way to make cargo shipping environmentally friendly is to reduce the amount of fossil fuels that ships use. The WSC interacts with many different governments to create the best policies possible. The WSC works specifically with the IMO and other organisations on a broad range of issues relating to the protection of human health and the marine environment.
Cargo Shipping Routes And Their Intensities
Cruise Ships - Cruise ships are not required to follow the clean water act policy, which means that they dump their sewage into the water wherever they want. They do not need to monitor or report what they dispose into the ocean.
The average cruise with 3000 passengers produce over 30,000 gallons of human waste and 225,000 gallons of non-sewage grey-water (waste water). Grey-water is relatively clean water that usually comes from the laundry, kitchen or basins. This water can be recycled but is still deadly to the marine environment.
Liner Shipping and Carbon Emissions Policy - The Liner Shipping and Carbon Emissions Policy was put into action in September 2009. Maritime shipping produces an estimated 2.7% of the world's carbon dioxide emissions and expects them to rise by as much as 72% by 2020 if no action is taken.
In 2008 after a successful IMO agreement on new regulations to reduce NOx (mono-nitrogen oxides) and SOx (sulphur oxide) and Particular Matter (PM) emissions. NOx and SOx emissions come from the exhaust from diesel fuels and are large contributors of climate change. The Liner Shipping and Carbon Emissions policy is the monitoring and observing of NOx, SOx and PM emissions.
