MARINE POLLUTION

With the substantial growth of vessel traffic in the world ocean the pollution of the sea has greatly increased resulting in damage to life in it and along its shores. The open sea is being polluted these days mainly from ships, while the coastal waters are being contaminated either from ships, or from offshore oil drilling rigs, or from port cities and sea-side settlements. What are the main po­tential sources of marine pollution? These are oil, oil products, no­xious liquid substances carried in bulk, vessel generated and indu­strial wastes, sewage, domestic rubbish, etc. The effect of pollution of the sea is beginning to be felt by an ever growing number of people. For many of them it is evident now that marine environ­ment protection is becoming a global problem which can be solved only by the united efforts of the whole of the mankind.

When we speak of oil pollution, we should keep in mind that the principal cause of such pollution is the discharge of oily mixtu­res from ships (e. g. tank washings from tankers) or oil spillage as a result of accidents at sea.

Below is given a newspaper report on one of such accidents.

Supertanker sinks off South Africa, causing spill.

The driffing bow section of a Spanish supertanker that caught fire off the South African coast was fitted with a tow line, and a tugboat was preparing to pull it out to sea and sink it, salvage experts said.
