In October 2008, the U.N.'s International Maritime Organization (IMO) introduced a gradual phase-in of emissions restrictions, lowering individual boats' sulfur oxide emissions, which contribute to respiratory illnesses and exacerbate existing heart and lung problems, near coastlines 900% by 2020. Industry insiders expect the IMO will also cap greenhouse-gas emissions. "If the shipping industry was a country, it would...
...When it comes to shipping pollution, the world is all in the same boat - and right now that boat runs on toxic sludge - but with continued innovation and tighter regulations, the planet's blue seas could soon be filled with green ships.

"Who is this," Prosperi asked. "Who is this?" the boy replied. Prosperi then said he was Devlin's boss and asked for him, repeating, "Who is this? Is there an adult there?' The boy then...
