While sailing in the Lagoon at the entrance of "Canale dei Petroli" I saw the two lights for the tankers. The red one caught my attention and reminded me the Billy Ocean song......
Red light spells danger Can't hold out much longer Cos red light means warning Can't hold out I'm burning No, no, no
It is estimated that one third of a large oil tanker's load would be enough to provoke a true ecological disaster in the lagoon and also in the Adriatic coast. The presence of oil tankers is thus an enormous risk for the lagoon of Venice.
