How did the Exxon Valdez loose all its oil?
The Exxon Valdez was bound for Long Beach, California, hit Prince William Sound's Bligh Reef (Ran aground).She did not lose all of her oil, the grounding tore a hole in the ship's hull, and spilled an estimated minimum of 40.9 million litres of crude oil.This incident forever changed the Maritime Industry,because it resulted in Marpol (Marine Pollution) and IMO (International Maritime Organization) to enforce the mandatory Double Hull for Tankers. They further enforced this by imposing a Phase Out for Single Hull Oil Tankers by 2010. Meaning that all Single Hull tankers by 2010 will be either converted to FPSO's (Floating Production Storage and Offloading), or bulkers, or the more expensive conversion to double hull, or as a last resort Scrapped in India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, or China.
