There has been increased awareness and concern about the protection of the marine environment. The pollution risk posed by laid-up ships, wrecks and abandoned or disused offshore installations is an aspect that should be given due consideration by coastal states and key industry players. There are many complex issues to be associated with these potentially polluting elements. Ideally, these issues which encompass both legal and technical aspects should be carefully considered and addressed. This would be crucial in ensuring that the marine environment is well protected from elements that can eventually either slowly or catastrophically result in significant damage to the marine environment.

Abstract

There has been increased awareness and concern about the protection of the marine environment. The pollution risk posed by laid-up ships, wrecks and abandoned or disused offshore installations is an aspect that should be given due consideration by coastal states and key industry players. There are many complex issues to be associated with these potentially polluting elements. Ideally, these issues which encompass both legal and technical aspects should be carefully considered and addressed. This would be crucial in ensuring that the marine environment is well protected from elements that can eventually either slowly or catastrophically result in significant damage to the marine environment.
