[edit] Questions and comments
- I heard on the news that the EU voted to ban single-hulled tankers earlier than planned shortly after these events -- late novemeber 02.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Tarquin (talk • contribs) 10:59, 11 December 2002
- Badly named page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.24.55.241 (talk • contribs) 12:27 Dec 11, 2002 (UTC)
- This article complains abotu single-hulled tankers, and then says the US and other countries will be phasing out double hulled tankers by 2015 or somesuch. Wouldn't they be phasing SINGLE hulled tankers out? And phasing double hulled tankers IN? Someone that knows the first thing about maritime shipping, please research at your leisure, or make this more clear, or something. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.204.72.207 (talk) 06:12, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Duplicate?
There are two lines referring to typefaces. They appear to be duplicates. -Ahruman 09:39, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Comments
I have several comments on this page. First thing is that this page needs to have the same unit of measurement across the entire article. It constantly changes between tons to Cubed meters to gallons. Pick one. Besides, there are two types of Tons: the Short ton and the metric ton. The money currency should be the same, and should attempt to account or state the devaluation of the money. The article needs lots of work with spelling and organization.--Guille2015 06:06, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] How many tons of oil, again?
"5,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (5 trillion) tons of fuel oil were spilled in the incident."
First off, that's not 5 trillion. Second, Earth's Mass: 6.58542823 * 10^21 short tons... "tons of fuel oil spilled": 5.0 * 10^21 short tons ( 5,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 )
So this spill leaked 75% of the Earth's mass in oil?
Even using the 5 trillion value, ( 5,000,000,000,000 ) is completely wrong.
http://www.environmenttimes.net/article.cfm?pageID=148 states "64,000 tonnes of oil" spilled. This is 15,000,000 gallons (15 million) -- 64.37.159.134 21:46, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] ABS case dismissed
Could someone verify this with court records? I cannot provide verification for this since I don't have access to them. Presumably the ABS press release page will include an update, but maybe not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dj245 (talk • contribs) 00:17, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
