Summary

This review synthesizes advances in renewable energy systems and international maritime strategies for reducing marine pollution from the shipping industry. The study highlights significant gaps in addressing microplastic pollution from vessels and calls for integrating renewable energy solutions to reduce the shipping sector's environmental footprint.

The shipping industry, which plays a crucial role in global cargo transportation, significantly contributes to marine pollution and climate change by emitting toxic pollutants. This study aims to synthesize advances and innovations in international efforts to combat marine pollution. The methodology involved a comprehensive review of scholarly articles published in recent years. The results show progress in pollution mitigation strategies but reveal significant gaps, particularly concerning microplastic pollution and renewable energy solutions. This work is significant for its contribution to understanding a progressive, integrated approach to addressing marine pollution. The study emphasizes the crucial role of technical advancements, policy measures, and community-based initiatives in reducing environmental damage. Future research should prioritize these deficiencies and focus on global strategies to ensure the health and sustainability of our oceans.
