Marine oil spills due to drilling activities is a serious problem worldwide because it poses a major risk to marine ecosystem. So far, researchers in the world continues to innovate materials to clean up marine oil spills. Among them, based on carbon nanotubes. Carbon nanotubes are known have perfect ability to absorb oil and neutralize substance. This study review provides the various types of carbon nanotubes that have best quality to absorb marine oil spills. Continue with various types of carbon nanotubes technology, which technology should be developed in the future by considering each advantage possessed by of carbon nanotubes in order to create product innovation that efficient and environmentally friendly because does not make some new pollution. Therefore, carbon nanotubes is a good choice material to clean up marine oil spills. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
