摘要
In this paper, we present the results of a statistical analysis (for the time period 1978-1995) and a relative strategic survey of the magnitude of oil pollution from ships in the Mediterranean Sea. The Mediterranean Sea is a very sensitive and closed ecosystem which makes the need of protection from oil pollution imperative. The electronic tool of "SPILLASE" which administrates in a multi-fold manner the data base from the REMPEC Organization in Malta, is a contribution to that direction. We then present the results of a statistical analysis that cover the area of the Mediterranean Sea and all the corresponding fleet. Finally, we present a strategic survey which reveals a stable dependence of the fluctuation of the volume of spilled oil (from naval accidents of Greek ships) in the Mediterranean Sea (1978-1995) from a newly introduced term called "accident product".
