Turkey's largest oil tanker was ablaze
in the Tuzla dockyard
In Turkey, 18 Are Hurt In a Tanker Fire
By REUTERS FEB. 14, 1997
Officials at Tuzla said 18 people were injured in the fire,
most of them firefighters. Two of them, hurt in the original
blast, were in serious condition.
Governor Gurbuz said the fire had been confined to the
tanker. On television, the ATV station said that two dry
cargo ships had also caught fire, but those fires had been
extinguished.
He said the dockyard workers had left the ship at the end
of their shift when the explosions began.
Officials said the oil tanker, at 159,982 dead-weight tons,
was Turkey's largest. The tanker, which was built in 1977
and is owned by the Istanbul company Ditas, was in the
yard for repairs.

In the 163.308 DWT TPAO tank, there was a huge explosion
and a fire broke out while repairing at Tuzla Harbor. After the

• It’s also a good idea to install sheaths around
high-pressure fuel piping to redirect leaks to a
fuel-leak tank as an added precaution. If this is
a newly constructed ship, insist on this safety
system.
Emergency Action Plan for Fire / Explosion
On Ships
Ship on Fire
1. Raise the Emergency alarm.
2. Determine Location of the fire/explosion.
3. Check for oil/hazardous substances, pollution & possibility of one.
4. Determine any casualties and provide FIRST AID if necessary.
5. Find out the type of fire.
6. If necessary start the fire pump.
7. In case of engine room fire start the emergency fire pump and close the
isolating valve.
8. Close all the QCVs (quick closing valves).
9. Contain and extinguish the fire (using fixed system if necessary).
10. Set up emergency distress transmitter and keep ready for use.
