Sažetak
By sea 80% of the required oil is transported. Only 1% of the transported volume is spilled in the marine environment. Data and analysis in this paper are taken from studies of ITOPF's (Eng. International Tankers Owners Pollution Federation Limited). ITOPF database contains unintentional oil spill of 1970. The data include the type of spill, quantity of oil spilled, cause the accident and the boat that took part in the same. Number of major oil spills (> 700 tonnes) are greatly reduced in recent 41 years that the time within which the collected data. Most oil spills are small type (less than 7 tones). Accuracy of statistics is incomplete due to reporting small incidents around the world. Approximately 5.71 million tons of oil was spilled out as a result of tanker accidents from 1970's to the 2010-year. From tankers oil spills can come as a result of daily operations or accidents.
