ABSTRACT
According to statistics from the relevant organizations, in the past 30 years, more than 2100 oil spill events have occurred in China’s oshore areas, 70 of which are more than 50 tons. With the rapid economic development, our energy demand sustains high growth and crude oil import records are refreshed constantly. China’s crude oil imports reached 285 million tons in 2013, which rose by 6.8% from a year earlier. China’s crude oil import dependence may top 60 percent, meaning that the risk of the oil spill accidents is obvious. The oil spill accidents have a significant impact on marine environment, property, and people health, and will cause serious pollution damage to the marine ecological environment and fishery resources.
