The paper deals with the problem of anthropogenic impact on water bodies and adjacent territories resulting from shipping, ship repair and industrial production. The classification of hazardous impacts of ships on the environment in accordance with Russian and international regulations. The main methods of solving the problem of ship waste that are currently used are indicated, the main equipment of engineering environmental protection is classified. Comparative analysis of Russian regulatory documents (The Rules of Russian River Register) and international regulatory documents (MARPOL) was held.
