Ballast Water Management

The minimal ballast water crude oil tanker has the design of a trapezoidal-shape inclined bilge entirely instead of the regular U-shaped tanker, also known as the trapezoidal tanker, which reduces the amount of the ballast water. This type of ship does not only reduce the cost on ballast water management, but also is beneficial to the environment for reducing the risk of water pollution. Since it is a new design, there are no applicable specifications for the assessment of structural strength at present. In order to find out characteristics of the yielding and buckling strength of this type of ship, the strength of a conventional tanker and a trapezoidal tanker are calculated by a finite element method and then compared with a variety of cases. It can be seen that the trapezoidal tanker has lots of advantages in strength and lighting weight.

ABSTRACT The oil tanker Sea Empress spilled more than 72,000 tons (23 million U.S. gallons) of crude oil when she grounded at Milford Haven, United Kingdom, on February 15, 1996. The response at sea by the U.K. government through the Coastguard Agency's Marine Pollution Control Unit involved aerial surveillance, the spraying of dispersants from aircraft, and the recovery of several thousand tons of oil from the sea surface. This paper by the overall commander presents an overview of the incident and the response operation at sea.

In September 2020, two major fires broke out in a large crude oil tanker in Sri Lanka’s maritime zones. An island with a vast sea area in the Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka, is prone to vessel sourced pollution. Crude oil can have a damaging impact on the environment, and therefore tracking the spill in the water is essential. Spaceborne sensors support monitoring oil pollution; however, optical sensors need clear skies for observation. The detection of pollution caused by vessels; in Sri Lanka’s maritime zones has previously been investigated by the author. This study examines the data collected by the Sentinel-1 satellite, whose sensing corresponds to the oil spill event, manually and using algorithms to detect the presence of oil spills. Two detected oil spill areas were measured to be 0.6 km and 1.4 km long. Further, in this study, the SAR sensor’s vertical signal transmission and reception mode produced acceptable results in detecting the spills and the vessel. Sentinel-1 SAR data is essential, in this case, to detect the presence of the oil spills and the vessels.

This paper is focused on the increasing security awareness of vessel’s crew to meet with the increasing of pirate activities in High Risk Area especially on Arabian Sea. Methodologies used are observation, interview, and library study. Observation was made during 12 months on board MT. Bull Sulawesi, a crude oil tanker operated by PT. Gemilang Bina Lintas Tirta Tbk. Even all crew hold proficiency certificate based on International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code, but according to the observation in fact, found there are some crew that do not understand yet with the main principles of security on board the vessel. Procedure of transiting High Risk Area looks like not well understood by all crew and officer. While on other side, security equipments are also available in a very limited quantity and quality. Regarding to this situation, some recommendations proposed such as conduct a regular security drill to make sure that all crew familiar with their own duty and responsibility. A safety meeting is also an effective way to improve knowledge of crew and officer related to security procedure. Company should also involve in preparing security equipments as per regulation especially upon it is requested by the vessel, in order to ensure that vessel will transit High Risk Area securely.

The 105K COT (105,000 DWT Crude Oil Tanker) is being continuously constructed at the ground yard of HHI (Hyundai Heavy Industries), Ulsan, Korea as the first ground construction for ship type structures. She is loaded out transversely from the quayside by skidding onto the DBU (Double Barge Unit). The DBU will then be towed to a pre-determined site and ballasted down to float-off the 105K COT from the DBU. This paper describes the motions, mooring forces, collision possibilities and constraint forces of DBU / 105K COT during load-out, towing and float-off of the 105K COT.
