Estimates of Oil Entering the Marine Environment from Sea-based Activities

Estimates of Oil Entering the Marine Environment from Sea-based Activities

Reports and Studies No. 75

As part of the global effort to reduce oil inputs into the marine environment from ships and other sea-based activities, an independent detailed assessment of inputs from the various sources is periodically required. This has been conducted previously (GESAMP 1976, 1993; MEPC 1990; The National Research Council of USA, NRC 1975, 1985, 2003; amongst others). In the late 1990s, the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) of IMO requested GESAMP to evaluate carefully all available data sources on oil inputs into the marine environment from sea-based activities (i.e. maritime transportation, offshore exploration and production), and particularly to develop approaches that might be used for the provision of such input data...
