“…Since the 1972 United Nations (UN) Conference on the Human Environment, in which the issue of acid rain was raised, countries worldwide have made efforts to gradually strengthen regulations on sulfur oxide (SOx) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions from ships to achieve the common goal of protecting the marine environment and improving air quality [1,2]. In 1997, Chapter 6 of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) was adopted, which took effect in May 2005.…”

“…The alternatives are LNG, LBG, methanol from natural gas, renewable methanol, hydrogen fuel cells produced from natural gas or electrolysis, hydrotreated vegetal oils, and HFO. Schnurr and Walker [2] found that SOx vessel emissions reached 10.6 million tons, and NOx emissions reached 18.6 million tons in 2014, causing 12% and 13% of global SOx and NOx anthropogenic emissions, respectively. According to these researchers, by 2050, marine transportation will be responsible for 17% of global greenhouse gas emissions.…”

The International Maritime Organization has strengthened global environmental regulations related to sulfur and nitrogen oxides contained in ship fuel oil since the beginning of 2020. One strategy to comply with the regulations is to fuel ships with liquefied natural gas (LNG) rather than with traditional heavy fuel oil. China and Japan are both developing a business structure for the bunkering of LNG through public–private partnerships to expand their leadership in the field in Northeast Asia and secure a competitive advantage. Compared to China and Japan, Korea has relatively inadequate laws, policy support, and best practices for safe and efficient LNG bunkering for ships. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the LNG bunkering regulation systems in China and Japan and addresses how these systems can be mirrored by Korea to improve the Korean system. It compares the legislative and normative rules of China and Japan regarding the complex global scenario of maritime transportation. The results show that Korea must revise its guidelines and create the advanced institutional framework required for the LNG bunkering market to support an eco-friendly shipping industry and maintain a competitive edge against China and Japan.

“…Maritime transport offers a lower-cost solution for transporting large quantities over longer distances than other transport modes [1]. Due to the advantages it provides, maritime transport constitutes at least 80% of the world's transport [2]. Approximately 2000 dangerous goods are carried by maritime transport in packaged or bulk form [3].…”

The International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code training is mandatory for all shore-side personnel involved in the handling and transport of dangerous cargoes by sea. This study aims to measure and evaluate the port workers’ dangerous cargo transport general awareness level. For this purpose, the “Dangerous Cargo Transport General Awareness Questionnaire” was developed and applied to trained 100 port workers face-to-face. The questionnaire was proven to be valid and reliable by content validity, construct validity, internal consistency reliability, and test-retest reliability analyses. Four factors were determined as a result of Explanatory Factor Analysis. Discriminant analyses were performed using the Student’s t-test and One Way ANOVA test. Pearson correlation analysis was carried out to determine the relationship between factors. Simple linear regression analysis was used for modeling the relationship between factors. SPSS 24.0 was utilized to conduct the analyses. According to analysis results, port workers’ dangerous cargo transport general awareness does not differ depending on age, position, and education. There is a weak positive or a moderate positive correlation between factors. Port workers have an average and above-average level of general awareness. It is highlighted that increasing this level is possible by increasing the frequency of dangerous cargo transport training. Suggestions are offered for more effective training.

“…The importance of transportation between countries and continents has increased as a result of globalization. Specifically, the rate of marine transportation has increased due to its larger loading capacity compared to other transportation methods, which has induced marine pollution [1,2]. In the context of marine pollution, sea vessels (i.e., ships) are considered to be among the main marine pollutants.…”

Due to its high oil content, the discharge of bilge water from ships is one of the most important pollutants in marine ecosystem. In this research, we investigated the treatment of bilge water for Haydarpasa Waste Collection Plant by Fenton oxidation followed by granular activated carbon (GAC) adsorption. We applied the following optimum operational conditions for Fenton oxidation: [Fe2+]: 6 mM; [H2O2]: 30 mM; and the ratio of [Fe2+]/[H2O2]: 1/5. Adsorption was performed in the effluent sample of Fenton oxidation. The effects of different adsorption periods, adsorbent concentrations, temperature, and pH were examined. Additionally, Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models were applied. We obtained the following optimum operational conditions: 24 h, 2 g of GAC L−1, 20 °C, and pH = 6. We observed an 89.5 ± 1.9% of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) removal efficiency under these conditions. Data generated from the experiments fit both isotherm models well, though we preferred the Langmuir isotherm model to the Freundlich isotherm model because the former’s regression coefficient (0.90) was larger than that reported for the Freundlich isotherm model (0.78). The potential to treat bilge water by Fenton oxidation followed by granular activated carbon is promising for the Haydarpasa Waste Collection Plant.
