The Study of the Laws of Vietnam to Prevent and Control Marine Environmental Pollution from Ship's Garbage
Summary
This study examines Vietnamese maritime law governing the prevention and control of marine environmental pollution from ship-generated garbage, analyzing how existing regulations align with international standards for managing waste from vessel operations. The authors identify gaps in Vietnam's legal framework for controlling ship-source pollution and recommend strengthening enforcement and compliance mechanisms to protect national marine waters.
The Vietnam Maritime Administration has established and dominated the seaborne cargo transportation market in Vietnam in order to prevent pollution of the marine environment from ship-source pollution as well as other sources from ships. The issue of marine pollution caused by trash, sewage, and air pollution from ships is then present, parallel to that development. One of these sources that has a negative effect on the quality of seawater in Vietnam is ship waste, which is regarded as one of the primary sources of pollutants. Additionally, the existence of plastics and microplastics, which have a diameter of less than 5 mm, has a detrimental impact on both the marine environment and human health. Therefore, Vietnam's crucial task going forward is to swiftly add laws to prevent and regulate marine environmental pollution brought on by ship waste. The method proposed is to study the participation, implementation of International Conventions, and improvement of laws of other countries. The author offers valuable experiences for Vietnam to quickly improve laws in this field.
