No, they are always crashing and leaving oil spills
Gasoline tankers often have metal chains at the back to prevent the buildup of static electricity during loading and unloading operations. As the tanker moves and the gasoline flows through pipes, friction can generate static charges, which pose a risk of ignition if they discharge. The chains help to ground the tanker, allowing static electricity to dissipate safely into the earth, thereby reducing the risk of fire and explosion.

Oil tankers should avoid single hull construction because they pose a higher risk of catastrophic oil spills in the event of a collision or grounding. A single hull is more susceptible to breaches, allowing oil to leak into the environment, which can cause significant ecological damage and economic losses. Double hull designs provide an additional layer of protection, reducing the likelihood of spills and enhancing overall maritime safety. Additionally, regulations increasingly mandate double hulls for new tankers to improve environmental safety standards.
