Ecological risks from typical types of ships

With implementation of new technologies in ship building and ship operation ships are getting bigger, faster, and more complex. Power for propulsion exceeded hundred thousends kW, amount of cargo on some ships reached half a million metric tons and number of passenger and crew on big cruisers equals population of smaller city. Over dimensioning of the ship and all installed ship systems, simultaneously over dimensioned all ship pollutants and increased variety of enviromental risks during ship operation and cargo handling. Therefore it is very important to distinguishdifferent types of the ships considering hazards to enviroment and find out what are dominant sources of pollution from each ship type.
