Oil tankers

Black gang. Oiler. Name's Kovac.

They are usually tankers, right?

George fought the battle of Bedford Falls.

Because when tankers carry oil they have to have ballast at some point, so when they're empty, they have the ballast water in there.

Tell them to radio our tankers bound for Puerto Rico to turn back.

When they come back, they actually dump this oily ballast water into the ocean.

They were talking about Exxon Valdez, and that there was going to be a glut of oil tankers because of the insurance industries.

Now, in the Exxon Valdez spill, about 30 percent of the killer whales died in the first few months.

The Melody, at 42m long with 15 cabins and a crew of half a dozen shipmates, is no bulging superyacht but a stylish little cruiser.

Another example of a pirated ship is that of the merchant vessel Feisty Gas, a liquefied petroleum gas tanker.

Five months earlier, more than 200 gallons of oil had spilled into the sea at Pockwood Pond, Tortola, during a ship to shore hose operation from an oil tanker to a gas station.

Domestic oil prices link up with international oil prices. Since the current round of pricing, international oil prices have increased with fluctuation and Brent crude oil has broken through the 80 mark and continues to increase.

Four little engines, 22 kilos thrust each, turbines working with kerosene.

And that those oil tankers needed to be decommissioned, and 2004 was going to be the pinnacle.

On 10 April 2005, Somali pirates seized the ship and crew.

(a) The nature of the ships in question (e.g., fishing boats, tankers, trawlers etc.)

Or you pick up a telephone and 100 tankers set out for Persia.

I can see that she is a fine child... straight of limb, quick of mind.

But something happened Exxon Valdez.

The dispute concerned the prompt release of the M V Saiga, an oil tanker flying the flag of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, which was arrested and detained by customs officials of the Republic of Guinea on 28 October 1997.

Oil producers can also restrict supply by holding oil inventory in tankers at sea or in other storage facilities. Conversely, producers can put more oil on the market by increasing production or by running down their inventories.

Depending on the requirements of crop rotation and location, the area for the cultivation of oilseed rape for biodiesel could be expanded to 1 million hectares, covering approximately 5 per cent of German diesel demand in the medium term.

Now the ship sank between Robben Island to the south and Dassen Island to the north.

It ordered the Republic of Guinea to promptly release the M V Saiga and its crew from detention.

When the Prestige sank off the coast of Spain, there were big, floating cushions the size of sofa cushions of emulsified oil, with the consistency, or the viscosity, of chewing gum.

He met us and got his name because he started standing under my diesel truck a turbo truck, so we named him Turbo.

And then the third one is this idea of the end of oil, this entropic end, where all of our parts of cars, our tires, oil filters, helicopters, planes where are the landscapes where all of that stuff ends up?

Tank washing gave rise to a huge number of small spills, and tanker accidents such as those involving the Torrey Canyon, Exxon Valdez, Metula, and St. Peter resulted in huge, concentrated spills. Blowouts were not infrequent, but most occurred on land or in shallow water, and most could be stopped relatively easily.

In Alberta people work nonstop, 24 hours by seven to extract as much oil as they can.

56. Welcomes the adoption by the International Maritime Organization of amendments to the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships of 1973, as modified by the Protocol of 1978 relating thereto, providing for the accelerated phase out of single hull tankers and a phase out scheme for the carriage of heavy grade fuel oil in single hull tankers Marine Environment Protection Committee, document MEPC 50 3, annex 1, resolution MEPC.111(50).

And it's obvious from the diagram that every unit of energy you save at the wheels is going to avoid wasting another seven units of energy getting that energy to the wheels.

In particular, Iraq refers to exploration for oil operation of refineries and petrochemical industries overgrazing extraction of groundwater operation of oil tankers in the Persian Gulf and contamination resulting from the Iran Iraq conflict as sources of environmental damage both before and after the invasion and occupation.

That has been the equivalent of an Exxon Valdez spill every year since 1969.

To see the largest vessels of man being deconstructed by hand, literally, in third world countries.

The pirates then guided the ship close to the Somali coastline and anchored it within sight of land.

In both cases, efforts were made to burn off the oil from the ocean s surface. But, as the 1967 Torrey Canyon experience showed the stranded tanker was bombed with napalm oil on water doesn t burn well, and the emulsified oil called chocolate mousse hardly burned at all.

221. A major initiative by IMO to improve flag State jurisdiction is the International Safety Management Code which, as of 1 July 1998, has become mandatory for all tankers, bulk carriers, gas carriers, passenger ships and high speed cargo craft of above 500 gross tons.

But the US took a strong stand that the South China Sea, which includes important sea lanes for oil shipments from the Middle East and container ships from Europe, and over which military and commercial aircraft routinely fly, was subject to the United Nations Law of the Sea Treaty (UNCLOS).

Concerned about the oil spill from the oil tanker that sank thirteen nautical miles off the south western coast of the Province of Guimaras in the central Philippines on 11 August 2006, resulting in that country's unprecedented maritime ecological disaster,

A tiny cog in the great wheel of evolution.

Within a wheel within a wheel.

And so I was in the second round of competition, and then the third and the fourth.

This round should be final.

They moved the tanker lanes 40 kilometers farther off shore, and people are not doing as much illegal dumping.
