European Maritime Transport Environmental Report (EMTER)

The report by the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) and the European Environment Agency (EEA) analyzes the environmental pressures exerted by the shipping industry, reports on EU and international environmental standards and outlines current and future actions to reduce their impact on the environment. It defines both the challenges and the opportunities you face. It highlights that while some of the shipping pressures on the seas are well documented, information on their exact impact on human health, the environment or climate change remains elusive. It concludes that this sector is evolving, with the aim of becoming more sustainable and responding to current environmental challenges.
