In spite of the few incidents, but the damage is widely caused, particularly in the marine ecosystem, that will affect human either directly or indirectly. That is why the countries have been aware of the significance on managing the environmental pollution problems from marine oil transport, enacting the laws for the navigation standard and safety control, and pollution control, and internationally cooperating to determine the navigation standards.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has played the key roles in determining and carrying forward to have the international laws for navigational pollution prevention. For instance, the International Convention for Prevention of Pollution from Ships A.D. 1973 which has been amended by Protocol A.D. 1978 later, and well known in the name of MARPOL 73/78 Convention, has the objective to prevent and reduce the pollutions caused by vessels no matter either being the pollutions caused by routine operations or caused by accident.

    In freight shipment by ocean liners, the ships’ ballast water is used to adjust the center of gravity to make well balance of the ships. However, pumping and transfer of the ships’ ballast water is a cause of problem of the movement of the nonlocal plant and animal varieties to the new environment. Some varieties can rapidly grow and breed, affecting the balance of ecosystem and economy, and possibly the pathogenesis for humans. Therefore, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has developed the International Convention on the Control and Management of Ship’s Ballast Water and Sediment, which was announced on 8 September 2004 and promulgated to be effective on 8 September 2017, to prescribe that all ships transporting in the international territorial waters shall install Ballast Water Management System (BWMS). The ballast water must be treated according to the standards particularly before draining seaward. However, subject to the said International Convention, it prescribes that the fleet of new ships shall be built. BWMS shall be installed in the ships which are built after 8 September 2017 from the ship building dock in the beginning. In the fleet of existing ships which are built before 8 September 2017, this International Convention which is effective from 8 September 2024 shall be executed.
