The double-hulling of coastal tank vessel fleets accelerated over the last 5 years as single-hull vessels built during the 1978-1983 boom period reached their Oil pollution Act of 1990 (OPA-90) phase-out dates. 1 For the period 2007-2011, 58 tank vessels were removed from service while 73 new/rebuilt double-hull tank vessels entered service. As of year-end 2011, the double-hulling of the coastal tank vessel fleets was nearly complete.
