The shipping industry conducts the majority of global trade- therefore, it must have a safe, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly mode of commercial transportation. Statistics indicate that maritime catastrophes have steadily decreased over the past decade, even though many incidents have drawn public attention to this issue. Even the International Maritime Organization has issued resolutions in the last decade to improve the safety of the shipping industry^s new regulations. Maritime incidents impact the marine environment in a variety of ways. Marine Pollution is caused by accidents and collisions, as well as human errors such as oil spillage, solid refuse, oil transfer, and bunkering. This study aims to investigate the marine pollution resulting from operational and collisions. The method is the analytical provision of the applicable marine environment law. According to the research findings, collisions between ships are becoming increasingly hazardous to the environment due to collision for all parties involved regarding human lives, the environment, and economic losses. In addition to shipping accidents, collisions, and oil leaks, and the discharge of ballast water into the sea cause Marine Pollution and environmental risks.
