Alternate Timelines

Scenarios about 'tanker safety'

Tanker safety encompasses regulations, technologies, and practices designed to prevent accidents and environmental damage during the transport of hazardous liquids like oil and chemicals by sea or land. These measures emerged largely in response to catastrophic incidents such as the Exxon Valdez spill, leading to international conventions requiring double-hulled vessels and improved navigation systems. In alternate history scenarios, different regulatory approaches or earlier technological innovations could significantly alter the environmental impact of global shipping and energy transportation.
