Oil Pollution

The contamination of oceans, rivers, and soils by crude or refined oil products, which can be harmful to wildlife, disrupt ecosystems, and pose risks to human health.

Double Hulls

A ship design feature where the vessel's bottom and sides have two layers, improving buoyancy and reducing the risk of spills or sinking.
