In the shipping industry, there is growing concern over the environmental impact of vessels, specifically in relation to greenhouse gas emissions and oil pollution. To mitigate these issues, governments and international organizations are implementing regulations. For instance, the Ballast Water Treatment Convention (BWTC) aims to prevent the transfer of harmful aquatic organisms between regions, primarily through ships' discharge of ballast water and sediments. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has set a deadline of 8 September 2024 for vessels operating beyond domestic waters to install Ballast Water Management Systems. Furthermore, during the 72nd session on 13 April 2018, the Marine Environment Protection Committee adopted the initial IMO strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from ships.
