Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent accidents in the Delaware River and Bay raised questions regarding operations of oil tankers in those waters. More than 4,000 vessels arrive yearly at the ports along the Delaware, about 40 percent of which are oil tankers. From 1973 to 1976, 180 oil pollution incidents involving tankers were reported, seven of these with oilspills of more than 10,000 gallons. In most cases, the Coast Guard attributed the primary cause to human error or equipment failure. Coast Guard activities for protection of the environment and safety of vessels include: inspecting a sample of U.S. and foreign tankers; monitoring a percentage of liquid bulk transfer operations involving oil or hazardous substances; and performing periodic inspections of the structure, machinery, and equipment of all U.S. ships. Since January 1977, the Coast Guard has expanded its programs of inspection and safety requirements. The Coast Guard is working to improve aids to navigation on the Delaware River and Bay, and the Corps of Engineers has recently received approval for a project to improve one of the anchorages on the river. The safety of oil shipping and transfer operations on the Delaware River have not changed materially over the years 1973 to 1976; steps taken since January 1977 should improve safety in this area.

Download or read book Oil Spill Risks From Tank Vessel Lightering written by Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1998-11-24 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The safety record of lightering (the transfer of petroleum cargo at sea from a large tanker to smaller ones) has been excellent in U.S. waters in recent years, as evidenced by the very low rate of spillage of oil both in absolute terms and compared with all other tanker-related accidental spills. The lightering safety record is likely to be maintained or even improved in the future as overall quality improvements in the shipping industry are implemented. Risks can be reduced even further through measures that enhance sound lightering standards and practices, support cooperative industry efforts to maintain safety, and increase the availability of essential information to shipping companies and mariners. Only continued vigilance and attention to safety initiatives can avert serious accidents involving tankers carrying large volumes of oil.
Download or read book Oil in the Sea III written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2003-03-14 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early 1970s, experts have recognized that petroleum pollutants were being discharged in marine waters worldwide, from oil spills, vessel operations, and land-based sources. Public attention to oil spills has forced improvements. Still, a considerable amount of oil is discharged yearly into sensitive coastal environments. Oil in the Sea provides the best available estimate of oil pollutant discharge into marine waters, including an evaluation of the methods for assessing petroleum load and a discussion about the concerns these loads represent. Featuring close-up looks at the Exxon Valdez spill and other notable events, the book identifies important research questions and makes recommendations for better analysis ofâ€"and more effective measures againstâ€"pollutant discharge. The book discusses: Inputâ€"where the discharges come from, including the role of two-stroke engines used on recreational craft. Behavior or fateâ€"how oil is affected by processes such as evaporation as it moves through the marine environment. Effectsâ€"what we know about the effects of petroleum hydrocarbons on marine organisms and ecosystems. Providing a needed update on a problem of international importance, this book will be of interest to energy policy makers, industry officials and managers, engineers and researchers, and advocates for the marine environment.

Download or read book Double Hull Tanker Legislation written by Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1998-03-09 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The passage of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA 90) by Congress and subsequent modifications of international maritime regulations resulted in a far-reaching change in the design of tank vessels. Double-hull rather than single-hull tankers are now the industry standard, and nearly all ships in the world maritime oil transportation fleet are expected to have double hulls by about 2020. This book assesses the impact of the double hull and related provisions of OPA 90 on ship safety, protection of the marine environment, and the economic viability and operational makeup of the maritime oil transportation industry. The influence of international conventions on tank vessel design and operation is addressed. Owners and operators of domestic and international tank vessel fleets, shipyard operators, marine architects, classification societies, environmentalists, and state and federal regulators will find this book useful.
