It covers  policy, planning and operations, and provides technical assessment of  the true nature of the problem, of the means to maximise the  performance of current techniques and equipment, and of the bases for  future improvements. \u003cbr\u003e  This book provides a fundamental understanding of the oil properties  and processes which determine the persistence and impacts of oils in  the marine environment. It establishes parameters against which to  evaluate performance of all current techniques and equipment, and the  environmental impacts of their use. It identifies design parameters,  and makes proposals for the creation and development of more effective  equipment and techniques. \u003cbr\u003e  The book also shows how a fresh approach to cargo transfer, and the  scaling of spillage response provision to oil releases on immediate  impact, will be more effective overall, and will ensure that approved  waste handling and disposal facilities are not overwhelmed. The recent  \u003cem\u003eSea Empress\u003c\/em\u003e incident is reviewed to illustrate the points made  and conclusions reached, and to emphasise the need for thorough  salvage planning for all future incidents.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1999-04-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792356745\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-015-9301-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 234cm x156cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 387\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46265563447436,"sku":"9780792356745","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792356745.jpg?v=1770784111","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792356745","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
