Oil Spill Risks From Tank Vessel Lightering (Paperback)
Expected to ship within 12 - 17 working days

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.
