Resumen del autor, extraído del trabajo. In the last 20 years the shipping industry has seen dramatic and significant legislation worldwide which has impacted vessel design and operations in aspects such as safety, environment, logistics and the economics of operation. This legislation is developed by many sources such as the International Maritime Organization, Port State Controls under the jurisdiction of Governments or Flag States, Classification Societies and Ship Charterers’ and is added to by the many industry bodies issuing guidelines for operation and safety. This legislative process in oil tanker operation has accelerated over the past five years primarily as a consequence of the ‘Exxon Valdez’ incident and has focused the attention of the public on the oil tanker industry. The operation of oil tankers between the early 1970’s to the present day has evolved dramatically both in safety considerations and environmental safeguards through International Conventions such as Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) and the Marine Pollution Convention (MARPOL). The evolution has impacted major design aspects, operational changes and an increased safety and environmental awareness both onboard the vessel and in the shore based offices. In addition to the issues relating to design legislation compliance, the industry has now focused attention on operational legislation through compliance with the International Safety Management Code (ISM). v. 4, p. 256 ARCHIVO Al-Sani, Majid A. 10056 McKain, John W. 10057 Vela International Marine 10058 World Petroleum Congress (16th. : 2000 jun. 11-15 : Calgary, Alberta, Canada) 34 McKain, John W. 10057 Vela International Marine 10058 Al-Sani, Majid A. 10056 133637 133637 0 0 0 0 204556 BAAB BAAB CD W938 1 0013960 2026-03-04 200006142 0 CD W938 1 0013960 200006142 2026-03-04 14:03:31 2026-03-04 ARCHIVO
