Abstract
In the field of environmental protection, close co-operation between Contracting Parties is strongly required and the reporting obligation under MARPOL 73/78 is playing an important role as a part of international co-operation for the environmental protection. In this paper, I review the meaning of reporting obligation under MARPOL 73/78 from the perspective of the international law, and investigate the status of implementation for the reporting obligation. For this purpose, I analyze status of implementation for last 10 years from 2001 to 2010 regarding reporting obligations under MARPOL 73/78 in accordance with MEPC/Circ.318. Finally, I suggest the way forward to improve Contracting Parties' compliance with reporting obligations through this analysis.
