Quoted hereunder is my earlier blog:
Quote. Excerpts from the International Shipping News:
Ship noise pollution moves up the agenda.
Daily News
23 April 2008
Merchant vessels are likely to face growing traffic constraints in US waters
in the coming years due to concerns over the impact of ship noise on marine mammals, according to Frank Gonynor, senior claims executive of Gard As.
Speaking at a seminar hosted by the club in Hamburg today, he warned that it is only a matter of time until lawsuits are launched against owners and operators of cargo ships while inside US waters.Unquote.
Now, marine mammals. Next time, the birds and the bees?
How may ASBO apply here? Just wondering, maybe by way of muffled or muted ship's whistles, noiseless engines and silent cargo equipments- the noise makers on board? Anybody with better ideas?
