Abstract: While oil spillage garners significant media attention for its environmental impact and contribution to pollution, bilge dumping remains a far lesser-known issue. However, the extent of pollution caused by bilge dumping poses a more significant harm, given its cumulative effect and frequency over time. Therefore, it is vital to have a serious discussion over bilge dumping compared to the more widely publicised issue of oil spillage. By employing the doctrinal approach, this research focuses on pollution associated with bilge water and the energy required to mitigate its impact. It hopes this will contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of formulating better climate policies to combat climate change. There is an urgent need to tackle this often-overlooked issue, which has severe environmental consequences. This article aims to raise awareness and inspire substantial actions to safeguard all marine ecosystems from this persistent threat, which results in environmental injustice and inefficient policy implementation.
