Legal perspective on ship-related marine pollution

Abstract

The number of factors that cause marine pollution is quite high. The wastes of cities located on the coasts or near the sea, wastes of industrial facilities, trashes left to the sea by people and other wastes are included in this content. Another important factor causing marine pollution is ships. The wastes caused by the operation of the ships at sea and the oil and derivatives used on the ship or other harmful substances that are released into the sea from the ships can cause marine pollution seriously. The provisions to be applied to marine pollution are determined according to the pollutant causing marine pollution and the type of the ship. In our law, liability arising from pollution caused by pollutants other than petroleum and its derivatives is basically regulated in the Law No. 5312 “The Principles of Emergency Intervention and Compensation for Damages in Pollution of the Marine Environment with Petroleum and Other Harmful Substances”. Türkiye is also a party to two international conventions on pollution caused by oil and its derivatives. These contracts are the “The International Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage” and “The International Convention on Civil Liability for Bunker Oil Pollution Damage”. On the other hand, the Environmental Act is also applied for liability arising from marine pollution in cases that do not fall within the scope of appƒlication of the enumerated legislation. The marine pollution can be prevented by virtue of the deterrent effect of the regulations on legal liability arising from the pollution of the sea originating from ships.
