I can't tell if this is a good solution or not

Effectively reducing oil spills is something that could benefit humans and the environment dramatically. Two ways oil spills can be dramatically reduced is by having oil tanker pit stops along their trips and have other emergency tankers and clean up crews following them in case of an emergency or leak of any sort. The cargo ships containing ten tons of oil and traveling over 1,500 miles in a trip, placing mandatory stops every 250 miles or so enables crews to check any mechanical problems, check pipes, and have the rest of the tanker checked out before continuing to their destination.    By creating this regulation it would reduce future accidents exponentially because they would be required to stop to check for human error and they would not be allowed to leave the port if there is a hurricane or natural disaster on the route the tank would be taking. They would be required to stay the full amount of time required by the government and would require checks every stop they make. This would be a policy/ regulation that would need to be followed by every tanker or cargo ship carrying any amount of petroleum to reduce any spillage. Another way to reduce any spillage of the petroleum hydrocarbon would be having emergency tankers or cargo ships following them from port to port to be prepared for any emergency that could occur. The ships would have equipment on them such as spill kits, oily water separators, oil skimmers, and pumps. All crew members aboard the emergency ship will have advanced training, be able to respond quickly and effectively to spill responses, and be able to inspect and find problems effectively. The ship should hold about 50-100 crew members depending on how far the ship is traveling and how much tons of petroleum they are carrying for that trip. All crew members will be assigned a certain port along with a ship and follow whatever ship comes into the port. The crew at the port will have identical training to the crew on board of the emergency ships and they will only be required to work a certain amount of hours a week. They will only be required to work a certain amount of hours because they should be well rested and their brains should be top shape and prepared for an accident. Taxes and the oil companies will be paying for their services due to the fact that they are helping them reduce oil spills and keeping the environment and humans safe. By implanting the oil spills humans are saving the marine life and ourselves by saving our marine life and drinking water.
