"I remember very well the oil spills caused by the tanker disasters which were widely reported in the media. These were enormous environmental disasters and tragedies for marine fauna and flora. A double hull construction protects the cargo tanks from damage and thus reduces the pollution risk. In single hull tankers, the oil in the tanks is separated from the seawater only by the bottom and side plating. If the hull is damaged following a collision or grounding, there is a risk that the cargo tanks will discharge their contents into the sea and cause major pollution. I therefore fully support the intention of this regulation, which is to limit the risk of the accidental oil pollution of European waters by means of an accelerated introduction of double-hull tankers."@en1
