Study the principles underpinning maritime environmental management and associated issues of management strategy, compliance and enforcement.
Maritime Environmental Management: Understanding Sustainability, Compliance and Environmental Risk
Maritime environmental management has become one of the most strategically important disciplines in the shipping industry, as tightening international regulations, growing investor scrutiny and increasing public awareness of ocean health place environmental performance at the centre of how maritime organisations operate and are judged.

Delivered 100% online by Lloyd’s Maritime Academy, the course covers both the regulatory landscape and the practical management strategies needed to address sustainability challenges across maritime operations.
Whether you work in fleet management, port operations, compliance, legal or sustainability roles, this course provides the essential foundations to advance your career in maritime environmental management with confidence.
