Improvement of environmental labels of ships

Abstract

Currently, classification societies provide additional signs and verbal characteristics to indicate a variety of measures to ensure environmental safety of the ship. This system of signs indicates the need to demonstrate the level of environmental safety of the ship and the desire to meet the objectives of environmental labeling. The authors propose a direction for improving the environmental labeling of ships by conducting a comprehensive assessment of the ship's impact on the environment using environmental indicators. The proposed comprehensive assessment should be based on environmental criteria covering the entire life cycle of the ship – design, construction, operation, recycling. It is shown that it is necessary to establish the level of environmental safety of the ship based on these criteria, taking into account the degree of influence (importance) of each.

 

Keywords: environmental safety, environmental impact, environmental labels, life cycle, environmental indicators
