The structural types of oil spill response organizations: The comparisons of countries on oil spill response operations

© 2017 Taylor & Francis Group, London, UK.The lack of standardization for oil spill response industry at global level has led countries to construct different regional structures. This different approaches negatively affect the efficiency of oil spill response operations. In this study, the comparison of the marine pollution response system which is carried out by various countries will be conducted and the strengths and weaknesses of the systems will be discussed. In this context, the efficiency of the regional response system will be tried to be defined through case studies and recommendations will be made for the optimum response organization
