Abstract: | Whilst the world is much better prepared and equipped to combat major tanker spills than it was 30 years ago, it is still the case that responders are not able to overcome some of the fundamental technical problems. What is more regrettable is the fact that most significant oil spills are not dealt with as effectively as current technology should allow. This is frequently because insufficient account is taken by those in charge of preparedness programmes and response operations of the extensive technical knowledge and experience that is available around the world, especially in terms of the lessons that have been learnt from previous spills. |
