| Περίληψη: | The main subject of this dissertation is the study and the exploration of how the Shipping Industry includes the Environmental liability in her business management and at the same time how the new Regulations of Ballast Water Management Systems are treated by Shipping. Environment is the basis of life and economic activities that enable the development and prosperity. The importance of water for humans, both from economical and social view, is proved by the fact that the majority of the world’s population lives in coastal areas. Coastal ecosystems are the most susceptible, as land and water area are in constant interaction and functional interdependence. An important part of the oil transportation system by sea, is the caused pollution which is generated in the event of an accident. The phenomenon of an oil spill causes social outrage if it happens. The environment itself bears considerable since the failure of oil to be mixed with water creates many problems in the marine and coastal flora and fauna. Furthermore, an oil spill impacts negatively on economic, social and political life of the region that suffers. All these have led to continued efforts to reduce the influence from everywhere. The spectacular marine accidents that result in pollution are those that historically have monopolized the media attention, but it is not clear that long-term damage to the marine environment due more to them and no other causes that occur almost daily on a regular basis, but spend usually unnoticed. The study carried out and presented in detail in this dissertation was intended to "touch" this sensitive and very important issue of accidental oil pollution from tankers in order to draw meaningful conclusions and to find out how the Shipping Industry confronts with this issue, and also to deepen at “Ballast Water Management System” issue, which is so important up to date. |
