碩士 / 國立臺灣海洋大學 / 商船學系所 / 97 / The incidence of marine oil pollution poses significant hazards in extensive areas. Apart from destroying marine ecologies and threatening the existence of ocean life forms, incidents of marine oil pollution may even endanger the safety of a nation and its people. As such, the mission of ensuring that the oceans are protected against pollution is more important and dire than ever. On the other hand, in the unfortunate event of marine oil pollution occurs, it would be imperative and pressing to have the capacity to handle the situation in a timely, immediate and appropriate manner so as to minimize damage to marine ecologies.
This research will provide a comprehensive comparison of Taiwan’s response mechanism for incidents of marine oil pollution compared to those adopted by Japan, England, U.S., Norway, Singapore, Canada and Australia. The results suggest that Taiwan’s existing response mechanism for marine oil pollution is in need of a dedicated organization; the lack of such organization has affected the functionality of the response mechanism. In addition, the mechanism also suffers from having inadequate system data and aircraft along with limited aerial support/prevention/handling capacity. Due to limited manpower and equipment, the government simply is incapable of delivering sufficient response capacity. The issue of impaired marine oil pollution prevention/handling capabilities due to frequent personnel transfer will also be discussed. The research proposes the establishment of a dedicated agency and regional coordination center in Taiwan along with the construction of a marine ecological information system. Coupled with suggestions to strengthen aerial support and prevention/handling capabilities complemented with the assistance to improve private organizations’ capacity to take part in pollution removal operations and planning of long-term training for relevant personnel to enhance their professional expertise, the research hopes to offer useful references for the government in its efforts to initiate a sound marine oil pollution response mechanism.
