Oil pollution by tankers. issues and progress. a panel review
- U.S. Coast Guard
A panel review covers an overview of international and national conventions, legislation, regulation and their implementation; a Congressional perspective on tanker pollution and control legislation, e.g., the passage of the ''Port and Tanker Safety Act of 1978''; state regulations, e.g., in the direct regulation of vessel traffic, which must be measured against federal statutes to determine if the local regulation has been preempted by federal actions or violate the Constitution's commerce clause; an environmental view which advocates handling oil imports to the Texas gulf coast through an offshore terminal utilizing single-point moorings and connected to land by submerged, buried pipelines; and an industrial view which advocates the total elimination of operational and accidental discharges by, e.g., the load-on-top and crude oil washing methods and improved training of operating personnel, respectively.
