| Description | On Monday evening, December 4, 2006, the car carrier COSMOS EXPRESS was moored with its starboard side against Berth 10 in Vancouver, Washington. The tank barge NVESTIGATOR was moored with its port side on the ship’s offshore (port) side. Following a transfer of diesel oil to the car carrier COSMOS EXPRESS, the Tankerman-Person in Charge (Tankerman-PIC) of the tank barge INVESTIGATOR disconnected the barge’s hose from the ship’s hose. The unsupported ship’s transfer hose swung out over the port side of the barge, spilling diesel onto the deck of the barge and into the Columbia River. About 53 gallons of diesel spilled from the hose into the water, but the Tankerman-PIC only reported a small spill of diesel to the deck of the barge. The ship departed with USCG approval. The next day diesel was found in the Columbia River just downstream of Berth 10, and the Tankerman-PIC admitted that oil had spilled to the water. | ||||
