Hazardous and Noxious Substances Spill Incidents

Advanced Search

On this database it is collected information on the fate and weathering of hazardous and noxious substances (HNS) accidentally spilt at the sea around the world. It gathers and systematizes existing information to assist stakeholders involved in spill preparedness and response, and builds return of experience datasheets for the chemicals involved. It will facilitate the incorporation of lessons from past incidents on the decision process to improve preparedness.

Fate and weathering facts observed/reported

The vessel was transporting a cargo of 118 containers of hazardous chemicals acetone, butyl acetate, dipentene, ethyl acetate, hexane, hydrazine, isobutyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, methyl isobutyl ketone, methyl ethyl ketone, toluene, xylene, hydrogen peroxide, organochlorine pesticides, sodium pentachlorophenate, tetraethyl lead, trichloroethylene, nitric acid). Fourteen containers of hazardous substances fell into the sea. No lesson may be learnt because there is on information about the containers lost, nor those ones causing toxic fumes and chemical emissions. In drums within containers.
