This paper has been condensed from the original Section paper and retitled as above. The complete paper, titled simply, "The MarAd Pollution Abatement Program," included a comprehensive description of the program along with national and international regulations, treaties, agreements and conventions, and a description of the economic and environmental impact of the 1973 IMCO Marine Pollution Convention. This condensed version briefly summarizes the MarAd Pollution Abatement Program and the economic and environmental impact of two of the major ship design and construction features adopted by the 1973 IMCO Marine Pollution Convention: segregated ballast and improved load-on-top. The paper also includes recommendations for future action at national and international levels.

Decades of engineering practice have undoubtedly proven that the human operator is a complex variable that warrants significant consideration during the first stages of design and throughout the entire operational lifetime of a system. However, human factors are frequently neglected during the design process and during the systems operation. When human factors are not adequately addressed, people make errors and safety is severely compromised, the consequences of which are well documented. However, the process of integrating human factors into the design process is still maturing. Fortunately, there are ways for the designer to effectively screen and select which human factors elements should receive consideration for a particular project. Human stressors one of Elements should be included, specially factors that cause fatigue and human error.Noise and vibration are important reasons which cause human fatigue and has a significant impact on human performance. The international regulations, ship owners and many countries give a serious concern to this issue specially when designing a new ship to gain the "Green policy" or "Green ship" label by reducing and enhancement ship environmental impact, they adopted technological methods and solutions to achieve that goal. In this paper we will present a review for those methodologies and design procedures for new vessels to enhance this issue as a green policy, which reflect many benefits on human stressors, in order to activate and enrich the role of human factors in ship design.

SynopsisAlthough the main theme of this Symposium centres on the environmental impact of the Sullom Voe Terminal in Shetland, it was considered desirable, in this last session, to give brief attention to the Flotta Terminal in Orkney. Several aspects of the development have been discussed elsewhere (Johnston and Halliwell 1976; Trainer et al. 1976; Moore 1980).Three key sources of marine pollution could be recognised from the terminal operations:1. Tanker accidents with resultant spillage in the approaches to Scapa Flow.2. Spillage at the S.P.M.s.3. Effluent discharges from terminal operations.Since little has been said about effluent discharge at Sullom Voe, it seems appropriate to consider this aspect of our Flotta experience.The basis to pre-operational and subsequent monitoring studies will be discussed.

ABSTRACT This paper provides an overview of the Maritime Administration (MarAd) program to abate and control oil pollution from ships. The main thrust of the program is in the prevention of oil pollution through cost effective measures which would maintain the competitive position of the U.S. merchant fleet. The paper discusses such pollution abatement features as oil discharge monitoring and control systems, oily water separators, oily waste slop tanks, collision avoidance radar, and inert gas systems that are required to be installed on vessels that receive government financial assistance in the form of construction differential subsidy. In addition, the paper addresses the environmental and economic impact of the 1973 International Marine Pollution Convention on the Maritime Administration Tanker Construction Program, particularly as it relates to the IMCO segregated ballast requirements, improved Load-on-Top (LOT) procedures, and port reception facilities. Finally, recommendations for future action to abate ship-generated pollution at the national and international levels are provided.

Plastic waste pollution in the land and the river continues to rise. Plastic waste including marine pollution and debris can menyebab disrupt aquatic ecosystems. However, hazards of plastic waste pollution in the waters are still poorly understood by the public, especially for the people of Kampung Sungai Kayu Ara. To give knowledge to people in Kampung Sungai Kayu Ara Sungai Siak Apit about the dangers of plastic waste pollution in the rivers and sea required educational activities. So that more people know and understand the dangers of plastic waste, the public needs to be educated and understanding through extension activities. Extension activities carried out in Kampung Sungai Kayu Ara in September - October 2017. Implementation of education using lecture and discussion of the material presented. Conducted outreach activities to broaden the public about the negative impact of plastic waste so as to reduce the environmental impact of plastic waste on the river and the sea. The results show that the public targeted activity seen appreciation in receiving education of the activities carried out, the participants begin to recognize and understand the material presented and an increase understanding and knowledge about the dangers of plastic waste pollution between 65-80%.
