Scandinavian Maritime Fair

In January 2023 the IMO Sub-Committee on Ship Design and Construction (SDC 9) agreed on draft revised Guidelines for the reduction of underwater noise from commercial shipping in order to address adverse impacts on marine life. This session explores the challenges, possibilities, and solutions related to marine life and the environment. It highlights the effects on marine life, damage to the environment, and the importance of rules and regulations in addressing these issues.
