The International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships /MARPOL is an important convention for preventing pollution of the maritime environment.

It sets standards for stowing, handling, and shipping and lays down rules regarding the disposal of ship-generated hazardous waste, such as cleaning agents and cargo hold washing water.

MARPOL and SOLAS are considered two adequate safety and environmental protection tools of IMO.
