Abstract
Tankers transport liquid cargoes in bulk across the globe, representing a crucial and highly lucrative mode of maritime transport. Given this context, the secure transport of crude oil, derivatives, petrochemicals, and liquefied gases, as well as cargo transfers between inshore, onshore, and offshore terminals, necessitates standardization and effective regulations. In response to a series of oil tanker accidents in 1976-1977, the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) was established, which is the primary international framework for preventing marine pollution. This convention includes regulations aimed at preventing and mitigating pollution from ships, addressing both accidental discharges and routine operational emissions, and is currently supported by six technical annexes. Consequently, ensuring safe operations and environmental protection is a global priority for shipping companies. Researching and promoting this topic serves as a means of disseminating information to users.
