Abstract

The safety of maritime transport in the vicinity of the coast or in the seaport area requires special attention due to its damaging effects on the marine environment. Disruption of underwater food chains, emissions of harmful gases, underwater noise, oil or oil products spillage, alteration of hydrographic conditions, and waste disposal are some of the main effects of maritime transport. The shipping pollution on the environment include 4 types: air, water, acoustic and oil spills, having disastrous consequences not only on the environment but also on the economic and social side. Increasing awareness of the impact of marine pollution has led to a decrease in the frequency of spills as well as a significant decrease in the amount of oil spilled. The main purpose of this research is to analyse and determine the maritime accidents impact on the marine environment.
