Hydrocarbon Containment

An estimated 2 to 2.4 billion tonnes of oil is transported via oceans per year. In 2010 10,000 tonnes of oil was spilled from tanker breaches. This quantifies only breaches where over 7 tonnes of oil is spilled. There is a large amount of oil that is still being spilled in the oceans and waterways every year in spite of tighter regulations for hydrocarbon carriers and more advanced prevention methods. The following are graphs of data collected from 1974 to 2010 by the International Tanker Owners Pollution Federation Ltd. (ITOPF) that show the breakdown of causes for spills over 7 tonnes.
