Overview of possible locations for acceptance of oil collected during removal operation

Veliki postotak svjetskog transporta ulja ide morskim putem, te su zato mora i oceani s pravom najugroženiji kada dođe do zagađenja. Najvidljivija i najpoznatija vrsta zagađenja mora, je ona uzrokovana izlijevanjem ulja iz tankera ili kao posljedica nesreća na bušotinama. Europska agencija za pomorsku sigurnost (engl. European Maritime Safety Agency - EMSA) nudi tehničko, stručno znanje i operativnu pomoć za jačanje pomorske sigurnosti, pripravnosti za onečišćenje i mjera sanacije, te zaštite u pomorstvu. Evidentiranje objekata za prihvat ulja jedna su od EMSA-inih aktivnosti u pogledu zaštite mora od onečišćenja. U Europi se nalaze na trideset pet lokacija, a sposobni su za primanje znatne količine ulja nakon operacija uklanjanja. Analizom predloženih lokacija utvrđena je ravnomjerna raspoređenost skladišnih kapaciteta između sjevera i juga Europe. Zemlja s najvećim brojem skladišta je Švedska, koja osim toga posjeduje i najveće kapacitete (u m3) za odlaganje prikupljenog ulja.A large percentage of world oil transport goes by sea and therefore the ocean is most vulnerable when it comes to this type of pollution. The most visible and best known of marine pollution it caused by oil spills from tankers or as a result of accidents on oil rigs. The European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) provides technical and professional knowledge and operational assistance for the strengthening of maritime safety, pollution preparedness and rehabilitation measures and the protection of the marine. Tracking oil recovery facilities is one of EMSA's activities in terms of pollution protection. In Europe there are thirty-five locations, which are capable of receiving a significant amount of oil after the removal operations. Analyzing the proposed locations, distribution of storage capacity between North and South Europe was established. The country with the largest number of storage is Sweden, which also has the largest capacity (m3) for storing the collected oil
