1 Thorough inspection should happen
2 Responsibility or Negligence
By : Isha Verma, Sales/BD Manager, Larsen & Toubro
domenico fama  |  Added idea  "Full Risk Cycle improvement"  |  2 years ago
In my opinion there isn't any single "gold solution" to this kind of risky events. From prevention, to emergency mngt, to recovery, all the elements of the Risk Cycle have to be improved. We know that, due to reducing availability of oil fields,...
Vipin Bhasin  |  Added idea  "Responsibility or Negligence "  |  2 years ago
The above example, a part of negligence or non awareness? Do you think that they have not any provision for inspection? yeah  they have but it is the example of human negligence which was suffered by creatures... Provide ideas to stop that type...
Amish Jain  |  Supported idea  "Thorough inspection should happen"  |  2 years ago
Your right Isha, but i guess not only inspection but one should also try n find put better ways to cater to oil spills as we have already had major oil spills in the past. There are few techniques but we need to find a better n effective ways to...

Something....really worth knowing.... How do spills happen? An oil spill which occurs near a coastline will always impact more living organisms then one which occurs in the open ocean. This is simply because coastal areas are home to much more concentrated and diversified populations of marine life than the open ocean. Nevertheless, all oil spills have an impact on marine organisms, and oil from open ocean spills can end up contaminating beaches hundreds of miles away. Oil spills can harm marine life in three different ways, by poisoning after ingestion, by direct contact and by destroying habitats. Oil spills into rivers, bays, and the ocean are caused by accidents involving tankers, barge...

Accidents only happen when care recedes should be the applicable policy. Thus making the profiting stakeholders, pay for such lapses is the only way to ensure: Better handling care and enhanced concern.

Thanks Arunangshu , it's like the Bhopal gas disaster for aquatic life. Since it is the oil companies and oil tankers which can cause such disasters , they should be held responsible for : 1. Taking preventive measures to minimise or eliminate the...

`According to a study sponsored by UNESCO, Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and the United States, the spill did little long-term damage. About half the oil evaporated, a million barrels were...

An epic environmental tragedy has been unfolding in the past week and a half, with things going from bad to worse to terrible (and it's not over yet). What I'll do here is take a quick look at what happened so far, and then look at what you can do to help. Slideshow: Amazing Photography of the Gulf Oil Spill Tuesday, April 20, 2010 The Deepwater Horizon, a semi-submersible offshore drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico, exploded and caught fire at around 10 p.m. local time (CST). 126 people were on board, 17 were injured and 11 are still missing (presumed dead). This photo of the Deepwater Horizon rig was taken on Wed 21 Apr 2010 12:39:42 AM EDT. Photo: U.S. Coast Guard Most of the survivors e...

Oil prices Oil exporting countries are the major cause of high liquidity leverage in global economy. Once liquidity overstretched then it creates asset bubble and, crash of financial market. We have seen the same in the last recession when oil price reached its highest level of $ 147. What is the future of oil prices and how it is going to impact/shape global economy? As I mentioned oil exporting countries plays a very important role in global capital flow. If oil prices rise then we see huge amount capital flow in global financial market. Apart from this lot depends upon these countries domestic investment strategy. In the past they have invested quite less as compare to emerging countries...

Negligence. They should take proper precaution method and to avoild this kind of problem in future. Further they should make a law/system and to punish the country by fine/any method to avoid this problem in future. K Rajagopalan.

A professor who tried to look at the Gulf oil spill from a different perspective found that it could have powered 38,000 cars, and 3,400 trucks, and 1,800 ships for a full year. Prof. James J. Corbett from University of Delaware based his findings on the estimated spill rate of 19,000 barrels of oil per day. He has launched a website that reports the impact of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in terms of lost uses of the lost fuel on a daily basis. Users can choose the spill rate they believe is most accurate from a range of reported estimates, and the website will automatically calculate how many cars, trucks, and ships could have been powered for a year. Some of his findings are as follows...
