While onboard a ship, a man was recorded throwing objects into the water
MARITIME POLLUTION – A man was seen throwing various items into the water from a ship, causing uproar and disapproval among netizens. The incident was captured in a video shared on Twitter by Crazy Clips.
In the footage, a man can be seen tossing items into the water, while his companions cheer him on and find amusement in his actions. The loud laughter of the man’s friends can be heard in the video.
However, the online community did not approve of the man’s behavior, expressing their disgust and criticizing both the man and his friends for finding amusement in what they considered to be a disrespectful act. Netizens highlighted the insensitivity and lack of regard for the environment and public property, questioning the man’s belief that his actions were cool or praiseworthy.
Meanwhile, the legality of throwing objects into the ocean from a ship depends on national and international laws. International conventions like MARPOL aim to prevent marine pollution by prohibiting the disposal of certain substances, such as plastics, oil, and hazardous materials.
Many countries also have their own laws governing waste disposal and marine ecosystem protection, with penalties for improper disposal. There are exceptions for specific activities, such as controlled disposal in designated areas or under specific conditions.
Ships often have waste management systems and procedures to handle waste in compliance with legal and environmental requirements. It’s important to consult relevant legal authorities for accurate and up-to-date information, as laws can vary between countries and regions. Familiarizing yourself with the specific regulations of the ship’s registration and operating region is crucial to ensure compliance with the law.
