Around 90 percent of our goods are transported worldwide by sea. The water-based trade routes span the entire globe. Particularly dense is commercial shipping traffic in the North Atlantic, the Mediterranean and the North Pacific. Tens of thousands of cargo ships are on the move every year. Add to that hundreds of cruise ships and fishing fleets. The world’s intensive shipping activity has many negative impacts on the marine environment.<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text ul_type=”square” _builder_version=”4.17.1″ _module_preset=”default” ul_font=”||||||||” ul_text_color=”#09428F” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”\u00d6lverschmutzung” module_id=”\u00f6l” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” ul_font_size=”18px” ul_line_height=”1.8em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Oil pollution is the best known one which is caused by shipping. Tanker accidents are typically associated with severe environmental damage in marine ecosystems. However, most oil pollution in the seas comes from land effluents and from the washing out of bilges and ballast water drainage at sea by merchant ships. Despite the MARPOL agreement, several hundred thousand tons of oil are released into the oceans each year through ship operations only, as a result of accidents and illegal disposal. In addition to crude oil, chemical pollutants also enter the sea \u2013 by way of cargo ship accidents or by emptying the tanks with chemically treated feces.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_fullwidth_image src=”https:\/\/kyma-sea.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/AdobeStock_138891883_web.jpeg” title_text=”Pelikan im \u00d6l \/ \u00a9 Adobe Stock” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_fullwidth_image][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Schadstoffe” module_id=”schadstoffe” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Atmospheric pollution by carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, sulfur and nitrogen oxides and particulate matter, which is caused by commercial shipping is not insignificant. It contributes to warming, and in particular due to carbon dioxide emissions, to acidification of the oceans. The latter complicates the skeletal formation of many marine organisms such as lime-based corals, since calcium carbonate (lime) becomes scarcer due to its chemical buffering action against the reduction of seawater PH levels which results from dissolved carbon dioxide.<\/p>\n The toxic liquid tributyltin (TBT) has been used as a paint on ships for decades, to prevent algae and fungal growth on ship hulls. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has banned TBT in ship paints since 2008, as it is highly toxic to aquatic organisms, acts hormonally on shellfish and accumulates in the food chain and sediment.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Unterwasserl\u00e4rm” module_id=”l\u00e4rm” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n A threat to marine animals which not obvious to us humans is underwater noise. Ships produce low-frequency sounds from 10 Hz to 1 kHz, which are audible over enormous distances and represent the most common noise in the sea. Ship noise generates an ever-present acoustic “fog” under water that drowns out natural noise and sounds, disturbing the migratory routes of marine mammals, causing collisions between whales and ships and limiting their ability to communicate and orient themselves.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ disabled_on=”on|on|off” admin_label=”CTA
