Britain Faces Unprecedented Tanker Growth and Oil Spill Risk
The report contrasts Britain’s failed detergents approach to a heavy oil spill with the rise of gigantic tankers. It notes postwar increases from 16,000 tons to ships like the 118,000 ton Torrey Canyon and the 205,000 ton Idtitlus Maru, with plans for 300,000 ton and 400,000 ton vessels. The trend highlights strains on tanker design and coastal defense as ships grow beyond earlier limits.
