When it comes to oil spills, certain readers may remember the M/V Exxon Valdez incident which occurred in Alaska. On 23 March on 23 March 1989, the M/V Exxon Valdez grounded in Alaska, North America, spilling 10.8 million gallons (approximately 41,000 KL) of crude oil. It is considered to be one of the largest human-induced environmental incidents to have ever occurred at sea.
Since then, tankers have been regulated with dedicated ballast tanks and double bottoms, and the number of spills of loaded oil have been greatly reduced. However, we receive reports of oil spills every year, and the number of oil spillage accidents show no sign of signifi cant decline. In this guide we will discuss the prevention of oil spills and how to deal with them appropriately.
