Contents:
About the Authors; Tables, Boxes and Figures; Terminology and Definitions; Abbreviations; Acknowledgements; Introduction -- Oil on Water; 1 -- Life Without Oil; 2 -- The Shift East; 3 -- The Great Voyage; 4 -- Securing the SLOCs; 5 -- Piracy: The Nebulous Threat; 6 -- The Criminalisation of Crews; 7 -- Flags of Convenience; 8 -- Green Shipping?; 9 -- The Politics of Pipelines; Conclusion -- The Future of Moving Oil; Notes; Index.
Summary: The movement of oil around the world's oceans is constantly under enormous pressure, from conflicts between nation states, piracy and climate change. Yet, while the uninterrupted flow of oil is essential to globalization, increasingly so as manufacturing and markets move eastwards to Asia, this threat is largely unreported. Out of sight, out of mind is the general reaction. From reporting aboard giant tankers to examining the geopolitical shift in oil consumption, Oil on Water is an engrossing, all-encompassing look at the security of this vital supply chain.
