"This regulation seeks to reduce the risks of accidental oil pollution in European waters through accelerated phasing-in of double-hull requirements. In single-hull vessels, the oil in the cargo tanks is separated from the seawater only by the bottom and side plating. If the hull is damaged following a collision or grounding, there is a risk that the cargo tanks will discharge their contents into the sea and cause major pollution. An effective means of avoiding this risk is to surround the cargo tanks with a second inner plate at a sufficient distance from the outer shell. This ‘double hull’ design protects the cargo tanks from damage and thus reduces the pollution risk. I voted in favour."@en1
