Compared to air, rail, and road transport, shipping is a more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly way to transport goods over a long distance. However, the unprecedented growth of global seaborne trade has had a significant impact on the environment. The process of shipping transportation, through exhaust gas, wastewater discharge, fuel leakage, etc., has caused very serious environmental pollution. In response to this issue, the International Maritime Organization introduced the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) Convention to regulate the discharge of pollution from ships. Given that there are few studies discussing policy effectiveness, this study comprehensively considers and reviews the implementation effectiveness of all annexed policies under the MARPOL Convention. After discussing the differences between these policies based on the implementation conditions, requirements, strictness, and scope of adoption, the empirical analysis method of time-varying differences-in-differences model is adopted to analyze the policy effectiveness of each annex. It further puts forward suggestions and references for the formulation of effective maritime policies in the future that should be targeted, comprehensive, contingency-based, and proactive. This will help design or revise policies in the shipping industry, thereby promoting the early achievement of shipping emission reduction targets and contributing to the sustainability of the shipping industry.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is currently rolling out more restrictive regulations in order to achieve net-zero GHG emissions by 2050. In response, the shipping industry is planning to pivot to green energy sources such as hydrogen fuel. However, since hydrogen has an extremely low boiling point (−253 °C), materials for storing liquid hydrogen must be highly resistant to low-temperature brittleness and hydrogen embrittlement. A 316L stainless steel is a typical material that meets these requirements, and various welds have been studied. In this study, 3 pass butt welding was performed by applying the FCAW (flux cored arc welding) process to 10 mm thick ASTM-A240M-316L stainless steel, with the size of the fusion zone and HAZ investigated by mechanical testing and heat transfer FE analysis according to process variables, such as heat input, welding speed, and the number of passes. In all cases, the yield and tensile strengths were about 10% and 3% higher than the base metal, respectively. Furthermore, heat transfer FE analysis showed an average error rate of 1.3% for penetration and 10.5% for width and confirmed the size of the HAZ, which experienced temperatures between 500 °C and 800 °C.

“…The global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the shipping industry rose 9.6% from 977 million tons in 2012 to 1076 million tons in 2018. The latest Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction Strategy for Ships report adopted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in 2023 shows that it is important to reduce the total annual GHG emissions from international shipping by at least 20%, striving for 30%, by 2030 compared to 2008 and to reduce the total annual GHG emissions from international shipping by at least 70%, striving for 80%, by 2040 compared to 2008 [4].…”

Ship pollution emissions have attracted increasing attention in the maritime field due to the massive growth of maritime traffic activities. It is important to identify the ship emissions (SEs) magnitude and corresponding spatial and temporal distributions for the purposes of developing appropriate strategies to mitigate environment pollution. The aim of this study was to estimate ship pollution emissions with various typical merchant ship types under different sailing conditions. We estimated the emission variation with a ship traffic emission assessment model (STEAM2), and then the ship pollution emission distribution was further visualized using ArcGIS. We collected data from the automatic identification system (AIS) for ships in New York Harbor and further analyzed the spatiotemporal distribution of pollutant emissions from ships. The experimental results demonstrate that the ship pollutant emission volume in the New York Harbor area in 2022 was 3340 t, while the pollution in terms of CO, SO2, CXHX, PM10, NOX, and PM2.5 was 136, 1421, 66, 185, 1384, and 148 t, respectively. The overall SEs from container ships, passenger ships, and tankers account for a large amount of pollution discharge. The pollutant emissions of container ships are significantly greater than that of their counterparts. Moreover, the spatiotemporal distributions of ship pollutant discharge can vary significantly among different ship types and sailing conditions.
