Oil tankers whose fronts have not yet fallen off thread.

Here's a humorous video of an interview of an Australian politician.

On August 19th 2007, an oil tanker off the coast of Australia split in two, dumping 20,000 tons of crude oil.

Senator Collins, a member of the Australian Parliament, appeared on a TV news program to reassure the Australian public. This actual interview is so funny, you'd swear it was a Saturday Night Live or Monty Python skit.

I didn't know that they weren't allowed to make oil tankers out of paper, string, cello tape or rubber. Who knew.

The tank vessel Jessica ran hard aground in the Galapagos archipelago January 16, 2001, spilling about 200,000 gallons of oil into a pristine environment known for unique wildlife and aquatic species.

When the Gulf Strike Team arrived to assist the Ecuadorian government with the oil spill from the tank vessel Jessica, the stricken tanker was listing heavily to the starboard side.

Anchor belonging to an oil tanker that sank off the West Coast of Brittany in the early 70s.

Don't know if the front remained with the rest of the ship when she sank or not.

Here's an artist’s conception of the General Dynamics NASSCO-built product carrier tanker in U.S. Shipping Partners’ colors.

The product carrier tankers or “PCs” will be 183 meters (600.4 feet) in length and 32.2 meters (105.6 feet) in beam, with a design draft of 11.8 meters (38.7 feet). The ships are to be double hulled, weighing 49,000 dead weight tons (DWT) and will have a cargo capacity of 331,000 barrels.

The PCs are the second class of tankers NASSCO has been contracted to produce since 2000. NASSCO is scheduled to deliver its final double-hulled tanker to BP Shipping Company of Alaska on August 18, under a four-ship contract. By comparison, the BP tankers are 185,000 DWT, 287 meters (941 feet) in length, and have a capacity of about 1.3 million barrels. http://www.nassco.com/news/2006/080706.html

VLCC " TASMAN SPIRIT"
Grounded at Karachi port entry whilst laden with approx. 60.000 tonnes light Iranian crude oil (27th juli 2003) In battling heavy monsoons, the vessel broke in two allowing highly flammable/explosive vapours to travel over the deck making further lighterage extremely dangerous and difficult.

An Iranian command and control platform (aka oil platform) is set afire after being shelled by four US Navy destroyers. The shelling is a response to a recent Iranian missile attack on a reflagged Kuwaiti super tanker. Camera Operator: PH3 HENRY CLEVELAND Date Shot: 19 Oct 1987.

The lesson: don't mess with oil tankers. The interested parties will blow up your property.
