Protection of the marine environment has emerged as a critical challenge of the current century, particularly within the shipping and maritime navigation industry. With the rapid growth of global trade and the increased reliance on shipping as a primary means of goods transportation, pollutants such as oil spills, waste, and chemical discharges have caused significant damage to marine ecosystems and biodiversity. This paper explores the environmental challenges posed by international shipping and the associated regulations. It also examines the main challenges faced by this industry in Iran and the necessary measures to improve marine environmental conditions. Analytical and descriptive research methods are employed, including an analysis of international laws such as the MARPOL Convention and the impacts of climate change on navigation. The main research question is: What legal measures can assist in protecting the marine environment and reducing pollution from shipping? Based on the research hypothesis, adherence to environmental standards in the shipping industry, updated international regulations, and effective monitoring of shipping activities will have a positive and significant impact on reducing marine pollution. The findings indicate that compliance with international laws, the establishment of independent monitoring mechanisms, and the development of incentive policies can significantly enhance environmental compliance in the shipping industry. Furthermore, international cooperation and public education on the importance of environmental protection can serve as effective tools in this effort.
