The danger of the marine vessels that serve refineries

Pollution occurs in every phase of the oil refining process. In this series, we analyze the impacts of pollution in three categories: direct pollution from the refinery operations themselves; “upstream” and “downstream” pollution from transporting crude oil and refined products;1 and indirect pollution from consuming the refineries’ products. It’s important to consider all three categories
