Svyatoy Panteleymon Oil Spills OIL SPILL CASES

All the critical regions were surrounded by sorbent

booms and the petroleum contaminated areas were

cleaned firstly.

A Georgian flagged dry cargo ship grounded and broken

into two, in Bosphorus Strait due to

severe weather conditions.

M/V Svyatoy Panteleymon, a 16216 gross tonne dry

cargo vessel, caused an oil spill at Anatolian Lighthouse

at the entrance of Bosphorus Strait.

Oil spill response operation started the operation after 12

hours from the accident.

Firstly, sorbent booms were used along the coastal area

for the prevention of recirculation of oil spill due to the

waves between the shore and sea.

The Municipality of Istanbul and MAVI DENIZ

deployed their oil booms around the ship for pollution

control at the nearby bays.

All 24 crew of the ship were rescued safely. 268 m3 of

fuel oil and 220 m3 of marine diesel oil spilled from the

vessel contaminated the region.

Endeavor Oil Spills

In Izmit Diler Port Authority calls MAVI DENIZ inorderto

clean – up the oil spill from M/V ENDEAVOR.

We negotiate with the ship owner Greece Flag, start to oil

spill operation that takes two months to finished the spill

area.

400 mt oil booms, 1.000 mt sorbents, hundreds of

dispersants, 20 workers, 1 anti pollution work boat,

pressure washers used in the operation.

10 m3 fuel oil spilled from the vessel and ports and rocky

beaches are recovered and cleaned up safely.

Stronstiy Oil Spills On February 13, the Cambodian-flagged cargo ship Stronstiy

sunk during a storm in the Black Sea 7.5 miles (14 km) from

the entrance to the Turkish Straits. Two crewmembers were

lost in the accident.

The ship was battling waves up to twenty feet (six meters)

when it disappeared from the Turkish maritime authority’s

radar screens, eight minutes after the crew radioed that it was

taking on water. Though the storm of February 13 was

undoubtedly severe in nature, the loss of the Stronstiy cannot

be attributed solely to weather.

News reports indicate that the 30-year old vessel began to leak

because it was long overdue for repairs. Stronstiy 's owners, the

St. Vincent-registered marine company Maestro Shipping, had

cancelled the necessary repairs multiple times due to cost.

Furthermore, port state control records from the Paris

Memorandum of Understanding indicate that the vessel’s last

three recorded inspections found deficiencies in life saving

appliances, navigation, accident prevention, and safety in

general, among others.

MAVI DENIZ takes the fuel oil in the tanks and deploy the oil

booms to protect the eco systems in the region.

Granba STS Operation & Oil Spills For several days preparations were made by our salvors to

lighten the owner of the vessel - BP so that a refloating attempt

could be made, and throughout this time MAVI DENIZ

continued dealing with the oil leaks. Eventually she was

successfully refloated by our stuff and equipments although oil

was still spilling out and MAVI DENIZ response operations

continued.

Whilst alongside discharging, the vessel was again surrounded

with oil booms until she sailed, on June 28th.

MSC ROBERTA Oil Spills

A MSC ROBERTA container vessel and a cargo ship AEGEAN WIND collided 4,5 km off the west coast of Turkey

Dardanel Bosphorus, resulting in a 50 tonne oil spill. Three people died and five ISO containers falled to the sea in the

incident, which happened at 5.40 am, and the spilled oil has drifted to the islands and reach to the coast of the Dardanel

mainland.

Anti-pollution vessels and barges have been deployed to contain and recover the fuel diesel oil leaked from a tanker

M/V MSC ROBERTA on the sea. 100 workers and beach cleaning equipments recovered the oil spill on the land.

13th as well, with 16 crewmembers aboard at the Black
