A leaking oil tanker split in two and sank Tuesday off Spain's northwestern coast, spewing thousands of tonnes of fuel oil into the sea and adding to a growing environmental disaster along one of Europe's most picturesque and wildlife-rich coasts. The two halves of the 26-year-old single-skinned vessel went down in deep

On the morning of 6th October 2002 the French tanker LIMBURG (299,364 DWT) suffered an explosion and fire as she approached the SBM at the Ash Shihr terminal in Yemen. Initially the cause of the explosion and subsequent fire was unclear but it is now considered likely to have been the result of a terrorist attack. Damage was sustained to No. 4 Starboard tank, which at the time contained some

On 29th March the BALTIC CARRIER, a double-hulled chemical tanker, collided with the TERN, a bulk carrier, off the Danish coast, spilling approximately 2700 tonnes of heavy fuel oil. The oil drifted north-westwards from the collision point and started coming ashore during the afternoon and evening of 29th March. The heaviest concentrations were along the south shores of Farøand Bogø in the sound between the islands of Falster

船用泵概述-泵在船上的功用 用来输送液体的一种机械。约36～50台泵/船 液体机械能有位能、动能和压力能三种形式， 它们之间可以相互转换。 机械能量较低的液体是不可能自发地到达机械 能量较高的位置，况且液体在管路中流动还要克 服管路阻力而损失一部分能量

一、 船载货物的可用港口起货设备来装卸 二、但并非所有港口都具有足够的吊货机械 三、 同时需考虑船舶在开阔水面过驳及吊运物料、备件等的需要

制冷是用人工方法从被冷对象中移出热量，使其温度降低到环境温度以下，在船舶上，制冷技术主要用于以下几个方面：

一、 按其额定工作油压的高低可分为： 二、 高压系统 20MPa以上 三、 中高压系统 10-20MPa 四、 中压系统 6.3—10MPa 五、 低压系统 6.3MPa以下

应能轻便灵敏地操纵控制阀或油泵的变量机构，以实现起货机的换向和调速。 根据传动方式的不同，液压起货机的操纵机构可分:

Since 15th September 2002, one of ITOPF's technical team has been working with the South African authorities to deal with pollution issues arising from the grounding of the ro-ro vessel, JOLLY RUBINO (29,119 GT, 1978 built, Italian flag) . Our role has been to provide technical advice to all parties involved with the pollution response, and has involved regular overflights and shoreline inspections, as well as meetings with all the relevant parties

6.6 Coalescing bed-type oily water separators The coalesce is capable of forming oil globules up to l2 mm diameter and the heavier fuel oils usually form long 'stalagmites' which grow to a considerable size before they are released. Because of the 1ow velocities employed the collected oil can flow past the water screen without becoming re-entrained and carried through into the outlet
