ABSTRACT Development of an effective oil spill control system in Japan was spurred by two marine disasters in 1974 which brought about an organizational and physical reinforcement of the nation's capability to respond to oil spills. This paper describes today's legal structure for oil spill control, the organizational concepts used at various levels to provide joint efforts by government agencies and industry, the role of the Marine Disaster Prevention Center which serves as the nucleus of the necessary control operations, and research and development highlights of ongoing Japanese efforts to prevent, control, and clean up oil spills.

ABSTRACT In 1975, a contract was initiated between the Energy Research and Development Administration (now incorporated into the Department of Energy) and Texas A&I University at Corpus Christi (now Corpus Christi State University) to develop a training program for a broad-based cross section of citizens in oil spill control and cleanup. Development of course materials was completed and the first class held in October 1977; this one week course is presented about 20 times a year at Corpus Christi, Texas. This paper addresses the methods determined to be most efficient to train persons involved in various levels of an organization. Factors which in our experience may influence the effectiveness of this training include: location, methods of presentation, and composition of the class. The final portion of the paper relates these findings to our training program and the response of the students to this learning experience. These concepts may prove useful to management in efficiently allocating their resources so as to provide the highest level of expertise possible. In the final analysis, this should result in better pollution prevention or, when required, reduced costs of spill cleanup.

Evaluation Of System Performance

ABSTRACT A simple gas chromatographic method correlates unknown oils in natural waters with possible source oils. Under the operating procedures involved, unique matches are generally achieved without miscorrelations, even when up to 15 oils of the same type (#2, #4, #6 fuel; crudes, etc.) are possible sources. Oil samples are quantitatively characterized by ratios of intensities corresponding to their contents of several components of known geochemical variability and resistance to weathering. The effects of weathering, sample types, and added spill control chemicals were determined by “blind” correlation of 35 artificially weathered oils, each with one of 17 possible sources. Oil type and weathering did not seriously influence spill-source matching success. The presence of highly similar source oils was the major performance-limiting factor. We determined the extent of this limitation, and thereby the probability of successful performance, for collections of oils from Greater New York Harbor products, and from Portland, Maine (crudes: 450 tankers/yr.). The probability that a unique correlation can be reached decreased with increase in the number of oils of the same type which were a priori possible sources and therefore candidates for matching; for the New York Harbor and Portland collections examined success rates were: 1–8 candidate oils, 100 percent; 14 oils, 50 percent; 22 oils, 27 percent.
