The International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) is the primary international agreement aimed at preventing marine pollution from ships due to operational or accidental causes. Initially adopted in 1973 and modified by the Protocol of 1978, MARPOL addresses various pollution sources through its six annexes:

Annex I: Regulations for the Prevention of Pollution by Oil
Annex II: Control of Pollution by Noxious Liquid Substances in Bulk
Annex III: Prevention of Pollution by Harmful Substances Carried by Sea in Packaged Form
Annex IV: Prevention of Pollution by Sewage from Ships
Annex V: Prevention of Pollution by Garbage from Ships
Annex VI: Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships
