The Canyon Tragedy Annexed An Effective Way Globally And...

Torrey Canyon Tragedy 1967 Transporting goods over the see consider as an effective way globally and has benefited the world amazingly. On the regular daily basis, ships all over the world are moving from port to port either to carry or deliver goods. Furthermore, 90 percent of shipments have been transported by vessels. The globalization has influenced the world to be interactive in trading by sea. Transporting oil nowadays by vessels is the safest mode away from people sights. In fact, (1800) million tons of crude oil is transporting early by sea. Although treaties that have been established to avoid any risk could happen from an oil spill are not taken seriously unless the world is facing a tremendous tragedy. However, oil spills†¦show more content†¦In the past, we had learned from previous well best-known oil spill tankers accidents in the world which are: †¢ Torrey Canyon – (1967) †¢ Exxon Valdez - (1989) †¢ Erika - (1999) †¢ Prestige - (2002) Apparently, all adjustments are taken after each horrible tragedy and the preventive action still not implemented holistically. However, when any new conventions are adopted, they probably will take from 2 to 5 years to enter into force and be active. Well, in this small paper research I would like to discuss the regulations as well as rules that have been updated as a direct response to these kind of horrific accidents. In addition to, what impacts the new safety regulations and standards rules have had on lowering the risk pertained oil tankers incidents. In the late 19 Century, the first oil tankers begun to operate and the regular standard size of the tankers remain small (16400) DWT until 1950s. Afterwards during the proper progress in the construction industry, the sizes of the vessels started to grow rapidly until they reached out (100,000) tons in 1959. That have led a noticeable increasing in the oil transportation which dictates the awareness of oil pollution in the marine environment. In the 20 Century, the oil pollutions was recognized as a gradual problem that would influence adversely the entire world. Furthermore, in 1954 (OILPOL) the international convention for the pollution
