REPORT OF THE

COMPTROLLER GENERAL

OF THE UNITED STATES


LM1 03372


Tankers And Oil Transfer

Operations On The

Delaware River And Bay


U.S. Coast Guard
Department of Transportation


During calendar years 1973 through 1976,
180 oil tanker pollution incidents and 83
tanker casualties were reported on the Dela-
ware River and Bay. Seven caused a discharge
of more than 10,000 gallons of oil. The pri-
mary causes of the pollution incidents and the
casualties were human error and equipment
failure.

While incidents resulting from such causes
probably cannot ever be eliminated com-
pletely, various actions since January 1977 or
currently under consideration should help to
reduce the occurence of similar incidents.
