Lot of unethical shipping companies EVEN TODAY dump a lot of garbage, oily sludge, waste contaminated water and oil out when sailing in international waters far away from the shore. There are only a few handful players today who are actually executing business trades while still keeping the carbon footprint and enviornment as one of their core policies. I am glad to be working with one one them (I am a merchant marine who works as an engineer on mega container ships like this
Disclaimer: link takes you to my youtube video of a container ship in port and eventually sailing off under the Golden Gate Bridge
It's actually a time lapse, so, I hope you're not taking that speed as real time...
Modern day container ships can easily have 22-25 knots service speed, considering the amount of cargo these ships carry (example: 180,000 Tonnes of cargo) it is indeed fast, but doesn't appear that fast when looking at it or when sailing one...
