In this work are described the most effective oil spill recovery and restoration methods that are used by the industry and the environmental impacts spills. The data that was selected in this work was selected with the criteria to be indicative of the global trends. The term oil spill is used to describe the spill of all petroleum products that may occur in an incident that can potentially harm the environment.The measurement units were kept unchanged from the initial sources due to the lack of the properties of the fluids.The biggest challenge in evaluating oil spill data, is the collection of it. There isn’t a body or an organization that collects from all the sources worldwide. Even though there are agencies on the national level worldwide, those collect and provide information that is often unconfirmed, an estimation or initial.It is also described how certain incidents affected the legislation and technology to effectively reduce the number and volume of oil spills, and the current legislation regarding the recovery and response methods.In the end are given recommendations for Greece.
