The research on problem of corrosion appearance and development and its impact on the condition and safety of oil tanker hulls was intensified after it was given a green light following the spectacular tanker disasters destroying fauna and flora in the inshore waters alongside the coast of significant length. The European Union supported the scientific research aiming at diminishing the risk of sea disasters out of concem for environmental protection and oil tanker safety. The crude oil tankers were identified as potentially the most dangerous. Acoustic Emission (AE), a modem, non-invasion technology of assessing the hull's condition may be employed to watch over the processes and activity of corrosion effects within the shell plating of tankers (the bottom and the sides). AE techniques used onshore (e.g. assessment of onshore crude oil storage tanks) were to be transferred to offshore conditions. The successful implementation will mean a significant progress in crude oil maritime transport safety.
