What are the environmental problems caused by transporting crude oil?

there is a big possibility of causing an oil spill that can destroy a lot of marine life.|||Apart from the obvious one of the propulsion unit of the ship producing pollution, not much.





The point about oil spills is a little erroneous, crude oil if spilt will start to evaporate quite quickly and as crude is what occurs in nature, there are no real long term effects of a spill, think Milford Haven in 1996, a spill occurred in February, the beaches etc were open for tourists in the summer of that year. Oil is a natural product and eventually most of it will have been broken down by micro-organisms in the water.
