Although sea traffic is an important method of transportation of people and objects, it often faces critical comments about its effects on the environment. As all quick forms of transportation, sea traffic, commercial and non-commercial, increasingly pollutes water and air, causing problems for people as well as nature in general. With the fuel consumption of the boats, toxic gases are released into the air, impacting lives of all the living creatures on earth. To reduce fuel consumption, a fuel flow meter boat is available, which can drastically lower the usage of fuel. In addition to the beneficial influence on the environment, a fuel flow meter boat will also reduce any fuel bill. A fuel flow meter boat can thus be the first simple step towards a greener tomorrow.
In addition to air, water is also being heavily polluted. Garbage from people as well as nautical antifouling are both among the culprits for water contamination. People are throwing all kinds of waste overboard. Plastic and similar materials that are disposed of in the water can be consumed by sea animals, deforming them or even killing them. Toxic chemicals that are released from nautical antifouling can be consumed by fish which are later caught for consumption. Whole species can become endangered because, due to nautical antifouling, the environment becoming too poisonous for life – this can be seen in ports where the variety of sea creatures is drastically reduced, life conditions being too bad for the majority to survive. If we want the oceans to remain the beautiful places they have been so far, boat owners need to aware of the consequences their actions can have. They are strongly encouraged to take the mentioned issues into account and act accordingly in the future.
