| Description | Vessels and facilities transporting oil in bulk through Washington must be able to pay for the costs associated with a worst case spill. A financial responsibility certification program would help prove that all oil handlers and owners have adequate insurance coverage to cover the expenses of potential catastrophic oil spills. Currently no such program exists. Washington State taxpayers may have to incur the costs of a major spill if transporters do not need to show they can afford to pay for it. |
