The theme of this issue, Future Spill, has to be a reflection of the fact that in 2012, serious oil spills in the marine environment were effectively nil, on the basis of spills of more than 7 tons. ITOPF’s latest report published this achievement, and they have contributed their analysis and view on this to SpillAlert.

The sharp reduction in marine accidents reflects substantial work in prevention via changes in laws, conventions, training, ship construction, just to name a few.
