Maritime Emission Manager Course

International shipping is guided by international regulatory and legal frameworks. These Frameworks are defined to understand the shipping impact on climate change and the marine related worldwide regulations to address the consequences of air emissions can be found in the UNCLOS and IMO MARPOL regulations.
