Research Aim: The main goal of this study is to investigate the strategies for reducing water pollution produced by the marine transportation sector/industry.  This study will also analyse the environmental risks posed by water contamination and how marine transportation contributes to the increase in water pollution. Focusing on the economic cost of restoring the damage as a result of marine pollution will also help us learn about the environmental effects of water pollution and understand how to reduce water pollution by different methods and technologies used by management.
