are associated with key pollution is been discovered and observed since seventeenth century.
This report may examine relevant links and inter relation of states and international institution
that lead the adoption of interventions and conventions such as MARPOL, SOLAS in order to

MAIN BODY
The international convention for there prevention of pollution from Ships is prime and
focused convention that may cover control and prevent of pollution of the sea environment by
seas from operational, incident or accidental causes. As the convention of MARPOL was
launched and implemented in 1973 at IMO (Dekun and Yue, 2016) Further the mains guidelines
