Due to the characteristics of their activity, carriers should not be mandated to establish and implement a risk management plan. Instead, they should be required to undertake tangible measures aimed at preventing, containing, and addressing spills and losses. These measures should be subject to verification by competent authorities, primarily during the transportation process. Some of these measures should be implemented during loading and unloading operations, which are hotspots for spills and losses. These operations are typically carried out under the responsibility of both the economic operators and the carriers, while the carriers are the only responsible party for the transportation journey.
