Regulatory assessment: Final rule on structural measures for existing single-hull tankers. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:451284

This Final Regulatory Assessment examines certain alternative pollution prevention measures on a selected range of existing single-hull tank vessel categories. The final rule assessment studies the cost and benefit variations if certain existing tank vessels were required to fit protectively located spaces or hydrostatically load cargo to standards equivalent to those in Regulation 13G of Annex I of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973, as modified by the Protocol of 1978 (MARPOL). The cost and benefit study was broken down by vessel type (international or domestic), gross tonnage, and type of cargo carried.
