Abstract
In this paper, we are trying to analyse what excessive ship noise and vibration can cause from multiple points of view. First, from a biological point of view, we can observe that a lot of sea species are affected by the vibration caused by ships along the modern trade routes. Second from the construction point of view, we can see that bad engineering can lead to a lot of problems, later in the ship lifetime. And the last point of view we analysed is the crew, which can suffer a lot of health problems if the noise and vibrations regulations are not followed.
