...As a public institution, the Japan Coast Guard possesses oil recovery boats, clean-up boats, and other materials to prepare for such situations. However, once a large amount of oil spills due to an accident involving a large tanker, there is no effective measure to deal with it all, and in reality, serious damage due to large-scale oil pollution has occurred, as seen in the Torrey Canyon incident and the Amoco Cajis incident in the English Channel in 1978 (220,000 tons of crude oil was spilled). On the other hand, tanker safety measures to prevent this need to be comprehensively reviewed, not only in terms of technical aspects of operation, but also in terms of port location, port construction methods, and the construction of large ships. From 【Maritime Accident】…Since the hull was lost, no clear conclusion could be reached, but it reminded people of the fury of nature. (6) The Amoco Cadiz Incident On March 16, 1978, the Liberian tanker Amoco Cadiz, loaded with crude oil and heading north, lost its freedom of navigation due to rudder failure, and was pushed by strong winds and ran aground near the western tip of the Brittany Peninsula.
