MINIMISING THE RISKS OF MARINE POLLUTION FROM THE TANKER FLEET: ANALYSIS OF TECHNICAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTIONS

Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the technical and technological factors that are of paramount importance for minimising the risks of marine pollution from the tanker fleet. The study covers a wide range of issues, including the design features of tankers, emergency prevention systems, and modern methods of collecting and eliminating pollution arising from the transport of oil products and other hazardous substances. Particular emphasis is placed on measures to prevent leaks and accidents, such as the use of double hulls, ship monitoring and emergency response systems. In addition, the article highlights advanced technological solutions, such as pollution detection and automated control systems, which contribute to the efficiency and safety of the tanker fleet. The article emphasises the importance of developing and implementing environmentally sustainable and innovative technologies in the tanker sector in order to minimise the negative impact on the environment and ensure the safe transportation of goods. The article also offers recommendations for improving the environmental safety of the tanker fleet based on best practices and innovative solutions. Overall, this article is a valuable analytical study of the technical and technological aspects aimed at reducing the risks of marine pollution in the course of tanker fleet operation.
