Abstract:
Oil spill accidents happen and due to that, many parties are affected. Marine
environment is affected as well because of the oil contamination. There are cases
where the factors that contribute to oil spill are human and technical error. Due to the
research, technical error is the cause of the ship collision happened. In order to prevent
such cases to be happened in the future, there are several precaution steps to prevent or
reduce the percentage of oil spill. There are two objectives in the research and two
research questions which answer the research objectives. For research objectives, the
researcher want to identify the efficient precaution steps to prevent the oil spill from
ship collisions and the second one is to determine the level of awareness on liabilities
and compensation among public since some of the parties are not aware in regards to
this matter. While for the research questions, have been mentioning about what are the
precaution steps to prevent oil spill from ship collisions and the next one is the level
awareness on liabilities and compensation among public. Basically, both research
objectives are achieved by conducting the survey and compute to SPSS in order to get
the result from data analysis. There are three precaution steps which can be
highlighted; maintenance, double hull and technology. For awareness, there are several
recommendations to enhance the level of awareness among public even though the
data analysis showed the respondents are aware on liabilities and compensation matter.
