The report outlines the possible ramifications of the growth of the world tanker fleet, both in size and in numbers, and this growth's subsequent effect on Narragansett Bay. It examines both ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore offloading and the possible pollution effects of these techniques. The three main causes of pollution - bilge, pumping, transfer leakage and collisions - are also considered in terms of a future increase in tanker traffic on the Bay. A bibliography of some thirty works is also included. (Author)
