6. Climate Change in The port of Cape Town
One of the main causes of climate change is air pollution.
When people pollute, temperatures rise and this may lead to low rain falls.
Recently Cape Town was facing a drought, which was caused by the rise in temperature.
Besides the rise in temperature and droughts, climate change can also cause sea levels to rise, it can cause floods, rise in carbon dioxide, etc.
Climate change can also lead to changes in the wave energy and direction. This may affect vessels on voyage because accidents may occur due to the high speed of waves.
Cargo can be damaged. The vessel can be delayed and this will affect the port because port operations will also be delayed.
