Purposeful Jettison of Petroleum Cargo PDF
by National Research Council, Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences, Commission on Engineering and Technical Systems, Committee on Marine Salvage Issues
Description
This book addresses the problem of deliberate discharge of petroleum cargo during salvage operations. It assesses the implications for shipping and marine environmental protection; documents the need to clarify U.S. law concerning intentional discharges of petroleum cargoes to save ships and prevent the loss of larger amounts of cargo; considers the implications of advances in oil spill contingency planning, environmental data acquisition and spill trajectory forecasting; and makes recommendations concerning the feasibility of developing guidelines for deciding whether to discharge oil intentionally.
