MARPOL -1973/78, International convention for prevention of pollution from ship 1973/1978

MARPOL 73/78 is the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, initially adopted in 1973 and later amended by the 1978 Protocol. The convention was established in response to significant oil spill incidents, such as the Torrey Canyon disaster in 1967, where more than 100,000 tons of crude oil were released into the waters near the UK coast. #marinoph
