自世纪初柴油发动机的商船和军用船只逐渐取代风帆和蒸汽机的船只以来，石油污染在荷兰是一个严重的问题。可以说，由于长期石油污染，北海南部成为世界上石油污染最严重的海域之一。然而，该地区很少发生导致大规模漏油的重大航运事故。在世纪初期，发现的石油溢漏事件明显减少，长期石油污染的程度目前相当低。大多数发现的浮油仍然集中在主要航道周围和主要港口，如鹿特丹和艾默伊登（通往阿姆斯特丹）。
Oil pollution is a serious issue in the Netherlands ever since merchant and military vessels with diesel engines gradually replaced vessels operating sails and steam engines in the early twentieth century. Arguably, the southern North Sea became one of the most heavily oil-polluted sea areas in the world as a result of chronic oil pollution. Major shipping incidents resulting in massive oil spills have, however, been rather rare within the area. In the early twenty-first century, the number of detected oil spills has markedly declined and levels of chronic oil pollution are currently rather low. Most detections of oil slicks are still concentrated around the major shipping lanes and off major ports such as Rotterdam and IJmuiden (leading to Amsterdam).
