The marine shipping industry has dramatically changed over past century. Vessels and ports have become larger, cargo handling methods have become more efficient, and the number of ports and shipping companies has been reduced. This change in the shipping industry, which serves the increasing globalization of trade and production that has improved the standard of living for millions of people worldwide, has resulted in increasing impacts to the local community and the local environment. Over the last several decades, the marine shipping industry, like many industries, is integrating practices into its operations that reduce costs and impacts to the environment, while improving social responsibility and strengthening its economic position.
