“…Moreover, regulation of alternative-fuel-powered ships based on pollution control and bunkering safety grounds may also create tensions with freedom of navigation, reflecting the ongoing contest between the "freedom of navigation of maritime states" and the "regulation of coastal states" (Bodansky, 1991;Zhang and Wang, 2022). However, the existing international legal framework is not effectively equipped to cope with relevant emerging challenges.…”

The introduction of several alternative marine fuels is considered an important strategy for maritime decarbonization. These alternative marine fuels include liquefied natural gas (LNG), liquefied biogas (LBG), hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, ethanol, hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), etc. In some studies, nuclear power and electricity are also included in the scope of alternative fuels for merchant ships. However, the operation of alternative-fuel-powered ships has some special risks, such as fuel spills, vapor dispersion and fuel pool fires. The existing international legal framework does not address these risks sufficiently. This research adopts the method of legal analysis to examine the existing international legal regime for regulating the development of alternative-fuel-powered ships. From a critical perspective, it evaluates and predicts the consequences of these policies together with their shortcomings. Also, this research explores the potential solutions and countermeasures that might be feasible to deal with the special marine environmental risks posed by alternative-fuel-powered ships in the future.

“…Coastal states' deployment and regulation of FNPPs may create conflicts with freedom of navigation, "reflecting the ongoing contest between the freedom of navigation of maritime states and the regulation of coastal states" [95,96]. However, the existing international regulatory framework is inadequate in solving potential tensions.…”

Floating nuclear power platforms (FNPPs) are a novel form of nuclear energy infrastructure that is designed to generate electricity in coastal regions, particularly in areas with limited land availability or difficulty in building traditional nuclear power plants. However, the development and deployment of FNPPs have raised significant concerns about their potential marine environmental risks and the adequacy of the existing international regulatory framework for regulating these risks. This research aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the regulation of FNPPs from an international law perspective, using a policy analysis approach to examine relevant legal instruments and their ability to regulate the environmental risks posed by FNPPs. This study identifies regulatory shortcomings and gaps in the current international legal framework, including pollution regulation dilemmas caused by FNPP positioning, potential conflicts between pollution regulation and freedom of navigation, deficiencies in environmental regulations, problems in the marine environmental impact assessment of FNPPs, and insufficient liability and compensation regime. This research also explores the potential solutions for improving the international regulatory framework, enhancing its ability to effectively address the marine environmental challenges posed by the development and deployment of FNPPs.

“…This involves obligations from different countries and thus sometimes makes the WHO global network system unable to play its role in a timely manner. Based on the legal system of ships, flag state control, and port state control established by many maritime conventions over the years ( Zhang and Wang, 2022 ), the IMO can quickly implement convention obligations through the emergency response mechanism of the maritime administration of relevant countries. Therefore, the WHO and IMO should guide CLIA and the International Protection and Indemnity Association in the establishment of an international cooperation mechanism for cruise epidemic prevention and control.…”
