The last two were crude tankers. After these oil spills, the oil companies stopped putting their name and logo on the tankers to avoid the bad publicity of accidents.

What's worse, now, is the fracking going on. They inject chemicals into the earth to extract oil. This kind of mining causes earthquakes, and also kills the plants and ecosystem of the area.
