Oil spills occur relatively infrequently compared to the vast amount of oil transported globally, but they can still have significant environmental impacts. On average, major oil spills (defined as those releasing over 700 tonnes) happen roughly once every few years, while smaller spills occur more frequently. The frequency can vary based on factors such as shipping traffic, drilling activities, and regulatory measures. Overall, while large spills are rare, smaller incidents happen regularly, often going unnoticed.
