Abstract
The possibility of a major oil spill in the Venetian Lagoon or the Upper Adriatic demands a sure response to the classic problems involved. Though there are prospects for a complete ban on oil tankers entering the Venetian Lagoon, it is necessary in the short term to devise a risk management scheme based on the comprehensive effectiveness of preventative action. The best security in this connection is provided by a synergic combination of integrated information systems (CIS and VTS), simulation models and active and passive risk control technologies. Cooperation between the Coast Guard services of the countries with coastlines on the Upper Adriatic is essential to efficient supervision of lanes designated for dangerous trafficI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
