Short Description

On Sunday, March 12, 2006, the general cargo ship CICLOPE was moored with its starboard side towards Berth 1 at the Port of Vancouver, Washington (Figure 1). At about 0930 (local time), while the CICLOPE bunkered (loaded fuel) from the tank barge INVESTIGATOR, the No. 1 starboard tank was overfilled with intermediate fuel oil (IFO). The oil spilled into containment via the No. 1 starboard tank vent on the main deck. It overflowed the containment and spilled to the main deck and over the ship′s side. About 90 gallons of IFO spilled to the deck and 10 gallons of IFO spilled to waters of Washington State.
