Torrey Canyon 1967

1959 US built, 60,000 dwt, ,


Li. flagged
Jumboised to 120,000 dwt
Cargo 120,000 ts of BP oil
for Milford Haven
Navigational error caused
grounding ripping open 6
tanks
31,000,000 gallons of oil
leaked
Oil spread along the sea
between England and France

1. MARPOL
Amoco Cadiz 1978

1974 built Amoco Cadiz carrying


227,000tonnes of crude oil
ran aground off the coast of
Brittany, France at 10:00 p.m. on
March 16, 1978
The whole cargo spilled out as the
breakers spilt the vessel in two,
progressively polluting 360 km of
shoreline
At the time this was the largest oil
spill by tanker ever registered.

2. Annex I fundamentals; Operation


Discharge of oil at sea (1):
all discharges of oil are prohibited unless certain criteria are satisfied

Machinery space (bilge and sludge)

All ship types


Machinery space

Bilge waste: oily water from the bilges

Sludge: waste residue from the filtration of fuel oil

Ship must be en route

Oily mixture must have been processed through the oil filtering
equipment

Oil content of the mixture does not exceed 15 parts per million
(ppm)

Oily mixture is not mixed with cargo residues (see later)


Cargo space (slops)

Oil tankers

Must be more than 50nm from nearest land (also defined)

30 litres per nautical mile

Discharged through the Oil Discharge Monitoring Equipment


(ODME)

Maximum discharge quantity on a ballast voyage should not


exceed 1/30,000 of the total quantity of the particular cargo of
which the residue formed a part

FPSOs/FSUs
a.

b.
c.

FPSOs and FSUs are not oil tankers and are not to be used
for the transport of oil except that, with the specific
agreement by the flag and relevant coastal States on a
voyage basis,
Conversion of an oil tanker to an FPSO or FSU or vice
versa should not be construed as a major conversion as
defined in regulation 1(8)
There are five categories of discharges that may be
associated with the operation of an FPSO or FSU:
1.
2.
3.

machinery space drainage;


offshore processing drainage;
production water discharge;
displacement water discharge; and
contaminated seawater from operational purposes such
as produced oil tank cleaning water, produced oil tank
hydrostatic testing water, water from ballasting of
produced oil tank to carry out inspection by rafting.
