[62] Oiled Ocean Routes / 海上溢油, 1990

Emissions from large ships in international waters are largely unregulated. Besides oil spills shipping accounts for 18 to 30 percent of the nitrogen oxide and 9 percent of the sulphur oxides. 20 supertankers emit as much sulfur into the atmosphere as all cars in the world. New legislation to curb this will become effective in 2020.

大型船舶在國際水域上的排放大部分都是不受管制的。除了船舶溢油外,運輸佔氮氧化物18%至30%的排放量,以及9%的硫氧化物排量。二十艘超級巨型油輪排至大氣層的硫磺量與全世界所有的車輛加總起來的排量一樣多。旨在遏制這問題的新立法將於2020年生效。
