"Creating a Culture of Preparedness"
The International Oil Spill Conference contributes to and enables a “culture of preparedness” within the oil spill response community, the broader field of incident management, and society as a whole. It provides a forum for professionals from the international community, the private sector, government, and non-governmental organizations to highlight and discuss innovations and best practices across the spectrum of prevention, preparedness, response and restoration

I'm a retired entreprenuer. From a business viewpoint, you are looking at a business the DHT is at the top. Other methods of shipping are more costly per gallon and therefore obsolete. Question "do you foresee there being no market for crude oil?" or do you foresee
they will move all the refinerys to the shoreline so single hull tankers will be welcome, compared to inland bays and harbors that can't chance a rupture of a single hull.? It looks like a sure business, more so than the vagaries of peoples financial whims.

Thinking more about it, it takes a long time to build tankers this large so it's not as if there is that much competition. In the first place, a tanker this size makes others obsolete due to the higher cost per gallon of delivery, and the higher crew ratio per gallon. In 1993 I ran a small freighter using two fingers on a key pad, while watching charts, sonar, depth sounder and listening to wheaher reports so the crew could enjoy v ideo golf.

I was a tanker seaman in the second world war. I live overlooking sea lanes. The ONLY tankers allowed in most U.S. inland waters
are double hull, I believe. Not sure of details.
