In spite of a number of studies suggesting how to improve environmental performance in shipping business, there are still many rooms for further developing. The previous studies concentrated on the effect of accumulated ship-generated garbage on the entanglement of marine creature (Vauk and Schrey, 1987;Henderson, 2001;Derraik, 2002;Butt, 2007;Hinojosa and Thiel, 2009;Ng and Song, 2010;Gall and Thompson, 2015;Phillips, 2015), the investigation and assurance of adequacy of GRF at port (Waldichuk, 1973;Olson, 1994;Bateman, 1996;Ball, 1999;Carpenter and Macgill, 2005), the factors affecting the discharge of ship-generated garbage into the sea (Cho, 2009;Chen and Liu, 2013), estimation of the amount of garbage generated onboard (Horsman, 1982, Ulnikovic, Vukic, andNikolic, 2012), the estimation of the amount of ship-generated garbage delivered at GRF (Senarak, 2016) and the development of the policy that convinces ship operators to environmentally-friendly design their ship and management (Cho, 2009;Knapp and Franses, 2009;Chen and Liu 2013;Jaccoud and Magrini 2014;Lam and Notteboom, 2014).
