Abstract:
This research investigates the implementation of International Maritime Organization
(IMO) regulations concerning pollution reduction in developing countries, with a specific focus
on the case studies of Tunisia and Pakistan. The study examines the challenges and successes faced
by these nations in aligning their national maritime policies and legal frameworks with
international maritime regulations and aimed to provide best possible solutions to overcome these
challenges. It highlights the critical role of socio-economic and geopolitical factors in influencing
the effectiveness of compliance strategies. The research emphasizes the need for targeted solutions
to address the complexities arising from limited technical expertise, financial resources, and
institutional capacities. By understanding these challenges, the study aims to provide insights for
enhancing the successful implementation of (International Maritime Organization) IMO pollution
reduction efforts in the maritime industries of developing countries, promoting a cleaner and
sustainable marine environment worldwide under the qualitative study of the data.
