Government age restrictions on oil tankers vary by country and are primarily aimed at ensuring safety and environmental protection. In the United States, for instance, the Oil Pollution Act mandates that tankers must be less than 25 years old to operate in U.S. waters. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) also encourages member states to enforce regulations that phase out older tankers, typically those over 15 years old, to reduce the risk of accidents and pollution. Each country may have specific regulations, but the general trend is towards stricter age limitations for older vessels.
