• Introduction
• Logbook is used to record the full, daily
  events occurring during the ships stay in a
  harbour, at anchorage, or underway. It is a legal
  record required by law. It may be requested to
  produce evidences in case of official inquires
  about accidents. Therefore everything recorded in
  it must be true and accurate. In case a misentry
  has been made in the log, a red line should be
  drawn on the parts and the correct entry with
  signature should be made near or above them. No
  erasures or cuts are to be allowed.

Part Two Maritime Accident Report

• Introduction
• Although all necessary precautionary measures to
  prevent accidents may have been taken, it is not
  always possible to eliminate accidents altogether
  during a voyage. There are various kinds of
  accidents such as personal injury and loss of
  life, fire, accidents caused by maritime perils,
  etc. When accidents happen, reports should be
  written out.

75

• Maritime accidents include stranding, striking
  upon rocks or shoals, collision between ships,
  collision due to ice, fog or darkness, etc. , and
  sinking due to a sea peril. If accidents of this
  kind should happen, the master or his officers
  should make out accident reports, giving full
  particulars of the facts leading up to the
  accidents. As the ascertainment of liability for
  the accidents and the assessment of damages
  depend much on these reports, they should be made
  out with great accuracy and copies sent to the
  owners, agents and other interests concerned
  while retaining one on ships files for reference
  purposes.

• Dear Sirs,
• I, the master of British MV Rose, hereby
  report to you that my vessel, carrying a full
  cargo of fertilizer for the port of Huangpu, P.
  R. China, grounded in the channel with a pilot on
  board while crossing the Second Bar, Lasawei, at
  2009 hours on Nov. 26, 2009.
• The vessel first touched the bottom on the
  port side at 2004 hours and , in maneuvering away
  from that side of the channel, the west side, she
  grounded on the east side of the channel at 2009
  hours and was held fast there.

Fire on MT Casper Trader

• 3. Fire on MT Casper Trader
• Dear Sir,
• A fire broke out on the vessel under my command
  at about 0320 hours on 24 May 2007 ships time.
  The Second Engineer and Oiler were on watch in
  the engine room. The Second Mate and
  Quartermaster were on the bridge.
• At first the Second Mate knew of the fire from
  the sounding of emergency alarm, which had been
  activated from the engine room. Shortly after the
  emergency alarm was sounded, the main engine
  stopped. At about the same time there was a
  blackout and the emergency power supply came on.
  The emergency alarm was disconnected to preserve
  power.
• By about 0600, shortly after dawn, rescue vessels
  had began arriving on the scene in response to an
  SOS sent by the Radio Operator shortly after the
  fire was discovered. By this time, most of the
  fire extinguishers had been discharged.

106

• In the morning the fire was still contained in
  the engine room, although smoke had began to
  emerge from the pump room immediately forward of
  the engine room. Shortly after the midday flames
  could be seen emerging from the top of the
  accommodation and I, together with the Italian
  crew members then left the vessel at about 1230.
• MT Casper Trader was towed to Singapore for
  damage surveys. She arrived at Singapore at about
  2340 24th May 2007.

IV Oil Pollution Reports

• 1. Report of Oil Release from MT
  Laura D Amto
• Dear Sirs,
• The Italian flag tanker Laura D. Amato berthed at
  the Shell Terminal Gore Bay Sydney, at 1224 on 3
  August 2007, with about 90,957 tons of Crude Oil.
  The loading arms were connected to the ship, the
  tank ullages measured and the quantity of oil on
  board checked. The mate and the Shell shore
  officer conferred and signed the Ship/Shore
  Safety Checklist. The Checklist was also
  countersigned by a Sydney Ports inspector.

112

• At 1412, the ship commenced discharging using
  No.2 cargo pump. Initially, the water bottoms
  were removed at a slow rate of pumping. At 1430,
  all the cargo tanks were opened to lower their
  levels and the discharge rate was increased to
  1000 m3/h. at 1650, some cargo tanks were shut,
  the rate was further increased to 1500 m3/h. and
  the suction valves for the two slop tanks opened.

113

• By about 1815, the mate decided the level of the
  slop tanks was falling too slowly. To draw more
  directly from these two tanks and to increase the
  rate of discharge, the mate decided to open No. 3
  cargo line to No. 2 pump by opening two crossover
  valves on the main sea line in the pump room. At
  about 1820, he ordered the cadet to open the two
  valves.

114

• At 1825, the Shell wharf watch keeper was
  returning from a routine check of the loading
  arms and moorings, when he suddenly smelled a
  strong odor of hydrogen sulphide. He immediately
  contacted the shore officer reporting the smell
  and asking whether the ship was venting its tanks
  for any reason. It was established that this was
  not the case.

Report of Oil Release from MT Laura D Amto

• The wharf watch-keeper went back to the shore
  manifold but detected no sign of a leak. The
  smell of hydrogen sulphide was still strong and,
  as he checked the water between the ship and the
  shore, he detected a slick of oil, which he
  traced to the ships port side. He reported to
  the shore officer, who immediately ordered the
  ship to stop pumping.

118

• The ships pumps were stopped at 1836. The Shell
  emergency plan was implemented immediately. The
  mate, who had already ordered the cadet to close
  the two valves that he had just opened, then
  ordered the 3rd mate to stop the cargo pump. He
  went ashore to see if he could locate the source
  of the oil spill. The wharf watch-keeper showed
  him the position on the port

119

• side, of the vessel, where oil was seen to be
  welling to the surface of the water. The mate and
  the pumpman then went to the pump room and
  checked all the valves. They found the two
  sea-chest valves on the sea suction line were
  fully open.
• When the two men attempted to close the sea-chest
  valves, they found the large, manual, butterfly
  valves backseated open. To close the valves,
  both men had to use a large wheel key to break
  the seat. In closing the valves, any security
  seals placed between the two adjacent valve
  handles were broken.
• At this port, the flow of the crude oil from
  Laura D. Amato into Gore Bay ceased.
• Master of MT Laura D Amato.

VI Reports of Damage to and Loss of Cargoes

• 1. Notice of Responsibility for
  Loss of Cargo
• Dear Sirs,
• I wish to advise you that during the
  loading operation at about 730 p.m yesterday one
  case containing glass goods marked DEF destined
  to Huangpu was allowed to slip off the net sling
  and fell a distance of about 40 feet in to the
  Lower Hold right on top of the crated Machinery,
  causing apparently considerable damage thereto.
  The extent of the damage could not be ascertained
  though I inspected it with the Chief Stevedore in
  charge.

134

• It is obvious that the accident was solely
  due to the fault on the part of the stevedores,
  and the Chief Stevedore on board admitted the
  responsibility for it.

  badly crushed and was returned to dock shed and
  short-shipped.

  Dangerous Cargo
• Dear Sir,
• In reply to your letter dated 3rd Inst.,
  under your Ref. UK (B)-221/YN concerning the
  shipment of dangerous cargo dinitrotoluene on our
  current homeward voyage, we are agreeable to
  accept the cargo on the definite condition that
  the shipment of these commodities on board this
  vessel will not give us any inconvenience and
  difficulties for our transit of Suez Canal and
  the direct berthing to Keppel Harbor at Singapore
  and H. K Warehouse Cos dock at Hong Kong.
• Judging from the flash point of these
  commodities, we understand that they will
  naturally be included among the dangerous cargo
  of 1st and 2nd category included in the Harbor
  Regulation of Suez Canal and Port of Singapore
  and Hong Kong respectively.

152

• For the lack of the latest port
  regulations of these ports on our side, we are
  not certain under which category these
  commodities should come.
• We should like to point out that discharging
  these commodities at the Dangerous Cargo
  Anchorage at any of these ports of call will
  cause a great deal of inconvenience for all the
  parties concerned.
• Will you please, therefore, investigate the
  matter in this respect and advise us accordingly
  before we start loading.
• We look forward to your early reply.
• Yours faithfully,
• (Signed)
• Master of M.V. Cosmos

  Bills of Lading Nos. 110-115, and weighing over
  15 tons each.

154

• As these weights are beyond the ships
  discharging facilities, I would ask you to
  communicate with Messrs. Brown Co., Ltd., with
  regard to arranging the unloading of these cases
  on the 7th inst. at 1000 hours by their own
  means.
