Novas tecnologias para prevenção da poluição no meio ambiente marinho

Abstract

The navigation and the use of transport facilities that allows this activity are considered more than simple occupations, human traditions. Naturally and following the necessities of a world each day more connected through sea, the demand for more modern and potent vessels have risen gradually. Since then, the energetic efficiency related to these vessels was the priority. However, the society recently began to worry about until when the possible environmental damages caused by this activity can be ignored in favor of its efficiency.This kind of concern has boosted the creation of new technologies developed to reduce the possibility of accidents involving maritime pollution directly related to the merchant activity. At this paper, it will be exposed some technologies that utilize alternative eco-friendly fuel, equipments used to control situations that presents risk of pollution or even systems that are capable to reduce the emission of certain pollutants traditionally emitted at this kind of operation. Applying eolic and solar energy in Merchant ships, it was possible to observe that both act as an auxiliary source of energy, complementary to the tradicional ones, because nowadays they still need technology to fill all the needs of a vessel. It is noteworthy that those alternatives for the prevention of this environment’s pollution are just suggestions, and its up to the enterprises involved at the maritime activity to zeal for our natural resources, each day as more scarce as necessary for the whole worldwide population, attempting for the use of any improvement and tool that can be utilized for this objective.
