Tanker fährt durch Kanadas missverstandenes „Tanker-Verbotsgebiet“ vor der Nordküste von British Columbia

>“The tanker ban doesn’t restrict tankers from passing through those waters. And in fact, somewhat perversely, those international shippers crossing the Pacific perceive Hecate Strait and Dixon Entrance as sheltered waters and if there are storms in the Pacific, you’ll see ships like container ships, bulk carriers and even loaded oil tankers bound for Asia, taking that more northerly route.”
Mr. Blomerus said modern oil tankers have multiple safety features that have substantially reduced the risk of accidents, and questioned the need for a moratorium at all. “I am not aware of a comprehensive risk analysis that went behind that piece of legislation.”

A moratorium that isn’t a moratorium. Interesting.

It’s not just the first Nations against crude oil in the area. Plenty of BC residents agree with the moratorium.
