The Baltic Sea is one of the most polluted sea areas in the world due to the northerly geographic location, natural hydrographic properties, large catchment area and the semi-enclosed character of the brackish inland sea. Scrubbers are currently installed on more than 4,000 ships around the world. 2022.113904.
From 2019, Volkswagen Group Logistics will use two LNG-powered charter vessels from Siem Car Carriers AS, making it one of the first automakers to opt for low-emission LNG-powered vessels for the marine transport of vehicles. Compared with other means of transport, marine shipping is one of the most efficient possibilities.
Tankers in waters of the Pacific Coast of Canada are required to have a marine pilot. Scientific research: The government will conduct scientific research on non-conventional petroleum products, such as diluted bitumen, to enhance understanding of these substances and how they behave when spilled in the marine environment.
