Abstract: ABSTRACT The few academic papers on this topic are summarized as those published by international institutions such as the OECD, under the economic aspect and the balance between the trade- offs of implementing measures, some universities with specialist departments in the shipping market (eg Delft, Netherlands), or some consulting firms contracted for the purpose of supporting and evaluating the technical aspects of the issues, to providing private and public sector organizations. On the other hand, there is a total void by the national academics regarding the literature on social and environmental sustainability of the maritime industry, (the few researchers show a higher propensity to issues related to business management). Thus, we chose to extract the fundamentals through collection and analysis of institutional information of a regulatory nature and sector organizations. So if focused on untie the intricate network of this topic, which being transversal to the entire maritime industry incorporates, having the methodology relapsed in paradoxical confrontation between existing legislation and several specific cases that are best interpretive if accompanied by photographic support . Therefore, this work uses visual information to better get a sense of what is described throughout this work, in this particular context. RESUMO Os poucos trabalhos académicos sobre esta temática resumem-se aos publicados por instituições internacionais como a OCDE, no âmbito da vertente económica e do balanceamento entre os trade-offs de implementação de medidas, de algumas Universidades com departamentos especializados no mercado do transporte marítimo (Delft, Holanda), ou de algumas firmas de consultoria contratadas para efeitos de suporte e avaliação dos aspetos técnicos das questões, a fornecer a organizações privadas e públicas do setor. Por outro lado, existe um vazio total por parte da academia nacional no que respeita a literatura sobre sustentabilidade social e ambiental do setor marítimo, (os poucos investigadores mostram uma maior apetência pelas questões ligadas à gestão do negócio). Assim, optou-se por extrair de raiz os fundamentos, através de recolha e análise de informação institucional de natureza regulatória e de organizações setoriais. Privilegiou-se portanto o desenlear da intricada rede que este tema, sendo transversal a toda a indústria marítima incorpora, tendo o método assentado no confronto paradoxal entre legislação existente e vários casos concretos que melhor interpretativos são se acompanhados de suporte fotográfico. Por isso mesmo este trabalho recorre a informação visual para melhor se ter uma noção daquilo que se descreve ao longo do presente trabalho, neste contexto específico.
