The construction of the Exxon Valdez included design and operational decisions that contributed to the accident, particularly the ship's lack of a double-hull design, which could have mitigated oil spills. Additionally, inadequate training and staffing levels for the crew led to poor decision-making and failure to respond effectively to the situation. The vessel's navigational systems were also criticized for being outdated, which compounded the risks during its journey through Prince William Sound. Overall, these factors created a precarious environment that ultimately led to the disastrous spill in 1989.
