Yes, one of the sources I posted said that most of the spills were contained by dikes designed for that purpose.

For 20 to 30 years all tanks over 5,000 gallons (not sure of the size it is now much smaller) must have containment dykes or secondary below ground tanks. Even the dyked area has a smaller tank used to separate oil when set to drain rain water. The environmental requirements are many.

What about this?

For instance, Hurricane Katrina ripped into Louisiana and Mississippi in 2005, destroying 115 oil platforms, significantly damaging 52 more and setting adrift 19. More than 7-million gallons of petroleum products spilled, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.
