ACCIDENT / INCIDENT IMAGES
LEARNING POINTS / ACTIONS TAKEN
This incident could have been easily avoided, the valves to the fwd domestic boiler header tank should have been shut prior to carrying out this operation. Fortunately only a small quantity of fuel overflowed into docks before pumping ceased and clean up/containment operations began.
The prompt actions of ships staff and their rapid implimentation of the oil spill response procedure was noted by the local harbour authorities.
No PtW was completed.
Company bunker checklist only covers loading ops from barge and needs revising to cover bunkering from shore tanker, and discharge of oily waste as well as loading oil in barrels.
