Safety assessment of crude oil tankers

摘要

Crude oil tankers are transporting between 50 and 60 percent of all crude oil in world production. These huge amounts of black gold represent a source of a global economic development at the same time as they represent a threat for the sea and coastal environment. The transport of goods with ships is a controlled system, systematically managed by ship companies and regulated by international maritime standards. The control of different risks could, therefore, be monitored and managed.
