Environmental Monitoring Systems on Ships – Ensuring Sustainable Maritime Operations | SEANAV

Environmental monitoring systems on ships are essential for ensuring compliance with international maritime regulations and preserving marine ecosystems. These systems collect and analyze environmental data, helping ship operators make informed decisions to reduce emissions, control waste, and operate more sustainably.
