ABSTRACT
The paper presents results of a comprehensive analysis of recorded AFRAMAX tanker accidents which occurred in the period between 1978 and 2003. The analysis enables the identification of significant trends with respect to the accident rates per shipyear for all major accident categories. It also relates the impact of ship’s hull design, namely of the double hull and the various non-double hull configurations, as well as the impact of ship’s age on tanker accidents.

KEYWORDS
Tanker accident rates; marine pollution; tanker hull design; impact of ship’s age.
