End-user and Stakeholder Views on Selected Risk Assessment Tools for Marine Oil Spill Preparedness and Response, Including Future Research and Development Needs
Risks in the maritime domain have various sources, of which the transportation of oil and other noxious products is one of key concern to industry and public stakeholders. Operational or accidental releases of oil or other pollutants from ships or offshore facilities into the marine environment can...
