The incidence of large spills is relatively low and detailed statistical analysis is rarely possible, consequently emphasis is placed on identifying trends. Thus, it is apparent from the table below that the number of large spills (>700 tonnes) has decreased significantly during the last thirty years. The average number of large spills per year during the 1990s was less than a third of that witnessed during the 1970s. Table 1: Number of spills over 7 tonnes
Major Oil Spills The table below gives a brief summary of 20 major oil spills since 1967, and the map overleaf shows where they occurred. A number of these incidents, despite their large size, caused little or no environmental damage as the oil did not impact coastlines, which is why some of the names will be unfamiliar to the general public. The Exxon Valdez is included because it is so well known although it is not the twentieth largest spill but rather the 35th. Table 3: Major Oil Spills Since 1967
