Topic - 10 Case Studies on oil & NLS Ship Emergencies

181. Tanker - Torrey Canyon: The world’s first major oil tanker disaster: Torrey Canyon marked a
number of firsts: It was a first-generation cape size supertanker of 297 metres l.o.a., the largest vessel ever
to be wrecked, the biggest oil spill in history until that time, UK's worst environmental accident ever and
first major tanker disaster to attract such an enormous media coverage, drawing universal attention to the
dangers of dispersants. Accident details: At a glance Type of accident: Grounding Vessel(s) involved:
Torrey Canyon (oil tanker) Date: 18 March 1967 Place: off England Fatalities: None Pollution: Major

Torrey Canyon is considered the accident that led IMO to adopt _______________, the landmark
convention on pollution prevention from ships and the second pillar of shipping's regulatory framework. A
major area of focus in this case was the oil spill response.

(A) MLC (B) STCW (C) SOLAS (D) MARPOL

182. Adequacy of procedures controlling tank cleaning and enclosed space entry on board STOLT SKUA. As
the airborne concentration of Benzene during stages of the tank cleaning process could be expected to exceed
1 ppm, but were not expected to reach 50 ppm, crew were routinely issued with filter masks for protection
when performing cargo operations on deck when carrying cargoes containing benzene. Amongst other
requirements,

(A) Procedures required that a tag be permanently attached to the entrance to each tank.

(B) Any ships staff can enter to the Tank At any time

(C) Procedures required that NO tag REQUIRED to be permanently attached to the entrance to each tank

(D)None
183. Tanker - The Amoco Cadiz tanker ran aground due to a steering gear failure on March 16, 1978, three
miles from the coast of Brittany, France. It split in three before sinking, creating the largest oil spill of its kind in
history to that date – 1.6 million barrels. Public outcry and political pressure resulted in significant updates to both
MARPOL and SOLAS, and the addition of safety and pollution audits that led to in 1982 to the Paris Memorandum of
Understanding (Paris MoU), which established Port State Control. The beauty of port state control is that it has
enabled an international port inspection system that makes it impossible for non-compliant ships to hide. It also led
to the International Convention on the ______________________________________________________ in 1978.

(A) SOLAS 74/88 (B) STCW 1978. (C) MARPOL 73/78 (D)MLC

184. • NON TANKER Ship -  The capsizing of theM.V. Herald of Free Enterprise in 1987 minutes after leaving the
harbor in Zeebrugge, Belgium. Incredibly, the bow door was left open, resulted in the loss of 193 out of the 539
passengers and crew. It also led to the adoption of the Guidelines on Management for the Safe Operation of Ships
and for Pollution Prevention, or the ______________________Code, which was designed to prevent damage to life
and the environment at sea, by requiring each vessel to have a working, audited, Safety Management System (SMS).
It also required shipping companies to have a license to operate. 

(A) LSA Code (B) FFA Code (C) STCW Code (D) International Safety Management (ISM) code

185. •   TANKER - The Exxon Valdez ecological disaster of 1989, which led to the first Port state establishment of
policy with international repercussions - the ________________________in the U.S., which mandated that all
tankers entering U.S. waters be double hulled – a requirement that eventually became the rule internationally,
especially following several oil spills in European waters. OPA greatly increased federal oversight of maritime oil
transportation, toughened liability and provided greater environmental safeguards. It also put the spotlight on drug
abuse in the merchant marine and led to related programs and reforms.

on a regular basis and is considered the safety bible for the maritime industries.

(A) MARPOL (B) Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), (C) Life Saving Appliances Code (D) FFA code
187. The 1934 sinking of the Morro Castle off the New Jersey coast, which left 126 dead, also left quite a safety
legacy in its wake. The ship, which went up in flames, not only led to new fire suppression, protection and control
regulations and equipment requirements, it served as the impetus for both the U.S. Merchant Marine Act of 1936,
which created the Maritime Commission, and the adoption of a significant______________ in 1948. It also led to
federally mandated officer training requirements and eventually, to the establishment of the federal maritime
academy at Kings Point, N.Y.

(A) Upgrade to SOLAS (B) Upgrade to STCW (C) Upgrade To Marpol (D)None

188. Tanker - Prestige (2002) and Erika (1999): Both casualties and spills happened in almost the same spot off the

ship owners and operators. Those incidents “led to a massive acceleration of the schedule to phase out_________
tankers.” 

(A) EMSA (B) Eur - PSC (C) Eur-OPA (D) single-hulled

things.

(A)Lookout (B) Navigational (C) Manning (D) Supervision (E) Awareness

190. The U.S. responded with the Oil Pollution Act (OPA) 90, essentially the first time a Port State had acted on its
own to create and enforce rule that would affect global shipping. OPA created a comprehensive program to address
prevention, response, liability and compensation for oil pollution incidents within U.S. waters. 

It set requirements for construction , crew licensing and manning, created the national Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund
(up to $1B  per spill incident), mandated contingency planning and the development of disaster response plans from
tankers, ties driving records with mariner licenses and mandated post-casualty drug and alcohol tests. It also
decreed that all tankers entering U.S. water after a certain date be_______________.

(A) Double Hulled (B) Single Hulled (C) Double sided (D)Double Bottomed
191. Incident Summary. At 0845 on September 16, 1990, the tanker vessel ―M.T. ABC‖ caught fire and
exploded during offloading operations at the Total Oil Company refinery on the Xxx river near Bay City,
Michigan. A wake from a passing bulk carrier apparently caused the parting of the M.T. ABC‘s transfer hose,
grounding cable, and all but one of its mooring lines. Residual gasoline in the broken transfer hose was believed
to have been ignited by a spark on the dock. The M.T. ABC‘s stern swung around into the Xxx River and
grounded perpendicular to the direction of the river flow. The grounding resulted in a crack in the vessel‘s hull
from the manifold on the starboard side to 75 feet aft of the manifold on the port side.

(A) wake from a passing bulk carrier (B) parting of the M.T. ABC‘s transfer hose

(C) Residual gasoline in the broken transfer hose ignited by a spark on the dock (D)None
