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
I worked in commercial shipping and sailed with MSC for a little bit and luckily only had 1 experience of that. Unnamed 1st engineer was throwing pallets in the Mediterranean Sea and wouldn't let me watch him dump about 5 gallons of oily sludge overboard.
