INTRODUCTION The "LIST OF ALERTS AND ACCIDENTS IN THE MEDITERRANEAN" forms Section 2 of Part C of the REGIONAL INFORMATION SYSTEM. It is aimed at providing competent authorities of the Contracting Parties to 1976 Emergency Protocol and of the 2002 Prevention and Emergency Protocol, as well as other interested parties with a set of data on accidents in the Mediterranean, which should be used in conjunction with other data such as those relating to maritime transportation of oil and chemical substances, to identify more precisely the risk of accidental pollution and subsequently to facilitate taking appropriate measures concerning preparedness and response at both national and regional levels. In February 1976, the coastal States of the Mediterranean region, by adopting the Protocol Concerning Co-operation in Combating Pollution of the Mediterranean Sea by Oil and Other Harmful Substances in Cases of Emergency, committed themselves inter alia to inform each other, either directly or through the Regional Centre, of all accidents causing or likely to cause pollution of the sea by oil or other hazardous substances and of the presence of spillages observed at sea, as well as of their assessments and actions taken to respond to the pollution and the evolution of the situation. The same commitment remained in the new Protocol concerning Cooperation in Preventing Pollution from Ships and, in Cases of Emergency, Combating Pollution of the Mediterranean Sea, adopted in January 2002. According to the Guidelines for Co-operation in Combating Oil Pollution (adopted in 1987) the Contracting Parties should report to the Regional Centre, at least all spillages or discharges of oil in excess of 100 cubic metres, as soon as they have knowledge of them. The Centre started collecting data on oil spills and accidents likely to cause spillages of oil in the Mediterranean in August 1977. Since 1988 this information has been complemented with the information on incidents involving hazardous and noxious substances (HNS) other than oil, and since 1989 all such information recorded at REMPEC has been stored in the Centre's database, which has been revised and modified several times. At present the information concerning accidents in the Mediterranean is kept in two separate databases: the first one contains information on accidents involving oil, and the other one data on accidents involving other hazardous and noxious substances. The databases are regularly updated and then thoroughly revised in the beginning of each year. The information on each event recorded in the database includes information on the date and place of the spill or accident, the ship(s) or installation(s) involved, the source of information, the type and quantity of pollutant, a brief description of the accident and, when available, of actions taken and consequences of the accident. There is a large number of shipping accidents that occur in the Mediterranean every year and REMPEC is regularly informed of the these through Lloyd’s Casualty Reporting Services (LCRS), Lloyd’s List, its national Focal Points or through other sources. Since majority of such accidents neither result in pollution of the sea nor pose any risk of marine pollution, the lists included in the present document record only the accidents that actually caused pollution of the Mediterranean Sea by oil or other hazardous and noxious substances (HNS) or were likely to cause it. The accidents that have been included in the list include those that satisfy one or more of the following criteria: − Accident involving any type of ship, which actually resulted in an oil spill, a spill or release of a

hazardous and noxious substance, or in a loss or damage to a container containing HNS; − Accidents on land (terminals, storage tanks, pipelines, industries, power plants, etc.) that resulted in

entry into the sea of oil or HNS; − Accident involving one or more oil tankers or chemical tankers (either laden or not); − Collisions, groundings or other accidents causing serious damage to the ships involved, in

particular if these carried or could carry significant quantities of fuel oil as bunkers; − All accidents involving sinking of vessels that had on board any quantity of oil as bunkers; − All accidents involving sinking of vessels that carried HNS as cargo (either in bulk or in packaged

form);

I

The present document has been divided in two parts: the first one contains lists of accidents recorded at the Centre, and the second is an analysis of the situation regarding accidental pollution of the Mediterranean Sea between August 1977 and the end of December 2003. The first part of the document is composed of: LIST A The list of accidents reported to REMPEC between August 1977 and December 2003

which caused or were likely to cause pollution of the Mediterranean Sea by OIL. LIST B: The list of accidents reported to REMPEC between January 1988 and December 2003

which caused or were likely to cause pollution of the Mediterranean Sea by HAZARDOUS AND NOXIOUS SUBSTANCES (HNS) other than oil.

Since six Mediterranean coastal States have also shores on seas other than the Mediterranean, REMPEC was involved on several occasions in dealing with accidents occurring outside the Mediterranean as defined for the purposes of the Barcelona Convention. These accidents either affected or were likely to affect one of the Contracting Parties to the Emergency Protocol, and REMPEC was requested to assist them in responding to the thread. The first part of the document has been therefore completed with another list summarizing such accidents: LIST C The list of accidents which occurred outside the Mediterranean and threatened one or

more countries Contracting Parties to the Barcelona Convention, and in which the Centre was involved.

Accidents are entered in the lists in the following way: List A (Oils) 1 13/08/1977 LAT: 35.35 N LONG: 16.11 E S.E.

Each accident included in the list is described with the following data, except in cases when any of these were not available: 1 Number of the accident (in chronological order) as recorded in

REMPEC’s database. 13/08/1977 Day / month / year of the accident. LAT: 35.35N LONG: 16.11E Geographical coordinates of the position in which the accident

occurred, presented in this document are only approximate and are to be considered only as a rough guidance. Very often the exact coordinates were not available and the report received by REMPEC contained only a description of the place of accident, e.g. “2 nautical miles NE of Cape XX”, “at the entrance to the port of YY”. In all such cases the Centre’s staff assigned approximate geographical coordinates to the place of accident on the basis of such narrative, however these should not be considered as accurate values.

SE SICILY - ITALY Indicates the name of the nearest point on land, port, island, cape,

bay, etc., and the country whose territorial waters were concerned or nearest to the site of the accident.

VESSELS INVOLVED Indicates the names of vessels that were involved in the accident.

With exception of collisions, in all other types of accidents the name of only one vessel appears under “vessels involved”. If the source of spill was a tank, pipeline or another installation on land this space was left blank.

VESSEL TYPE Indicates the type of vessel(s) involved in the accident. The following

abbreviations, used by the Lloyd’s, have been utilized in the present document:

ANALYSIS

The total number of accidents that caused or were likely to cause pollution of the Mediterranean Sea by oil and hazardous an noxious substances other than oil, which occurred in the Mediterranean as defined in the Barcelona Convention and which were reported to REMPEC between August 1977 and December 2003, reads 470:

Accidents involving OIL (1977 – 2003) .……..……………………………….. 376 Accidents involving other HNS (Hazardous and Noxious Substances) .…. 94 Total 470

INCIDENTS CAUSING OR LIKELY TO CAUSE POLLUTION BY OIL Quantities of oil spilled and number of accidents Every effort has been made to verify reports on spilled quantities, however, it was not always possible to obtain the accurate figures. Accordingly, all the data on quantities of spilled products, in general, should be regarded as approximate. Between 1 August 1977 and 31 December 2003, approximately 304,700 tonnes of oil (304 689 t) entered into the Mediterranean Sea as a result of accidents. The total quantity quoted above includes 12,200 tonnes of heavy fuel oil and slops spilled from M O/B/O “SEA SPIRIT” as a result of her collision with M LPG “HESPERUS”, west of Gibraltar. This quantity was added to the total amount of oil spilled into the Mediterranean Sea due to the fact that although the accident occurred outside the boundaries of the Mediterranean, as defined in the Barcelona Convention, the spilled oil entered the Mediterranean carried by winds and currents and posed a serious threat to the waters and coasts of Morocco, Spain and Algeria. The explosion and fire on board MT “HAVEN” off Genoa in April 1991 resulted in the loss of her entire cargo of 144 000 tonnes of crude oil. Some of this oil burnt and it was not possible to establish the quantity of oil which actually entered the sea. Therefore, the figures presented in this report take into consideration the amount of 144,000 tonnes spilled, as the quantity of oil released to the environment. On the other hand, those figures do not include oil spilled in 49 accidents for which the quantity of released oil remains “UNKNOWN”. However, it is not likely that these quantities were significant and that the overall picture would be much changed if they were added to the above-mentioned figures.

Graph 1 illustrates the quantities of oil spilled during each year between 1977 and 2003, including and highlighting the major accidents for this period. Graph 2 presents the quantities of oil spilled annually in the Mediterranean excluding oil spilled as the result of these major accidents. The scale used in Graph 2 is larger than the one used in Graph 1.

Graph 3 shows the number of accidents for each year, distinguishing between those which resulted in an actual spill and those which did not lead to a proven release of oil. It appears that the overall trend is an increase of accidents since 1977. However, the number of accidents resulting in an oil spill dropped from 41% of the total number of accidents for the period 1977 – 1995 to 33% for the period 1996 – 2003. This is most probably due to the tendency to report more casualties even if there is no spillage as a consequence. In addition, over the past ten years, the quantities of oil spilled each year remain relatively low, with no major accident occurring in the Mediterranean since 1991.

On Graph 4, the average number of ships involved in accidents and average quantity of oil spilled for each month of the year over the 1977 – 2003 period is shown. Although these figures would need to be confirmed by meteorological data, they seem to demonstrate that the occurrence of accidents is quite strongly influenced by weather conditions. It appears that the months between October and March, which are known to be among the most unfavourable to navigation in terms of sea conditions, are the months of the year with the highest number of accidents. The largest quantities of oil spilled were recorded for the months of December, February and March, which also corresponds to the months with usually the worst weather in the Mediterranean. However the reason why the quantity of oil spilled during January was persistently low, despite a large number of accidents, remains unclear.

Types of accidents According to the type, all accidents reported to REMPEC have been divided into the following 6 categories:

- Grounding - Collision / Contact - Fire and explosion - Sinking (not caused by any of the above reasons) - Cargo transfer failure - Other accidents

Most of the sinkings reported to REMPEC were caused by either water ingress or vessels capsizing in heavy seas.

112

Accidents listed in the last category comprise accidents that resulted or were likely to result in spillages, which were caused by war operations, ruptured pipes on land, various mechanical or structural failures on board ships, etc. Graph 5 shows the comparison in percentage of accidents in each category for the 77-84, the 85-91, the 92-97 and the 98-03 periods. Despite an increase in the relative number of sinkings since 1998, and apart from a significant decrease in the percentage of cargo transfer failures over the years, the diagram does not show major evolutions, with none of the categories having preponderance over the other ones in terms of number of accidents.

Graph 6 illustrates the quantity (in percentage) of oil spilled by type of accident for the same four above-mentioned periods. It is understood that since major incidents contribute significantly to the overall amount of oil accidentally released by ships in the Mediterranean, it is difficult to identify a general trend relating the quantities spilled and the type of accident. However, between 1992 and 2003, period during which no spillage over 2000 tonnes occurred, the quantities of oil spilled as a result of collisions dropped drastically, and to a smaller extent so did the quantities attributable to groundings, whilst the amount of oil spilled due to fires and explosions was on the increase, as well as the amount related to accidents falling under the category “Other”, the latter accounting for almost 50% of the total quantity accidentally spilled over the 1998-2003 period. Lower quantities of oil spilled since 1998 as a result of collisions and groundings, might be attributed to the improvements in terms of ship design that occurred over the last decade and which in turn reduced the risk of a spillage when such accidents happen.

Graph 7 indicates, for the period 1977 – 2003, the percentages of incidents leading or not leading to a proven oil spill for each type of accident. It is to be noted that as far as sinkings are concerned, even when there is no evidence of a spill immediately after such incident, the fuel and lubricating oils, and sometimes also cargo, regularly sink along with the ship, thus eventually introducing the pollutant into marine environment, unless the oil that sinks with the ship is salvaged after the sinking. The diagram shows that in approximately 50% of the known cases of collision, sinking and other types of accidents, some oil is spilled at sea. Fires, explosions and groundings are less frequently responsible for an oil release, whereas logically cargo transfer failures almost always generate one.

Types of vessels Graph 8 shows the types of vessels (actually the number of ships in percentage for each type) involved in accidents which caused or might have caused oil pollution of the Mediterranean Sea for the same four periods considered before. The diagram clearly shows that the proportion of accidents involving oil tankers has been decreasing continuously from 74% of the total number of accidents in 77-84 to 40% for the period 98-03. On the contrary, the proportion of general cargo ships has increased and represents 31% of the accidents between 1998 and 2003, while the contribution of the other categories of ships remains roughly constant over the past 25 years.

ACCIDENTS CAUSING OR LIKELY TO CAUSE POLLUTION BY HAZARDOUS AND NOXIOUS SUBSTANCES (HNS) OTHER THAN OIL

Observations from the data collected on accidents in the Mediterranean involving hazardous and noxious substances other than oil (HNS) , for the period 1988-2003, are as follows: Total number of accidents: …………………………………………..……………………94 Total quantity of HNS released :………………………………………… 135 866 tonnes It should be noted that REMPEC started collecting data on incidents involving HNS only after extension in 1998 by the Contracting Parties to the Barcelona Convention of the Centres mandate, which since then includes also these substances. Graph 11 shows the number of accidents involving HNS for each year over the 1988-2003 period, while Graph 12 indicates the quantities of HNS accidentally spilled during the same period.

On Graph 13, the types of accidents causing or likely to cause pollution by HNS (in percentage of the number of ships involved in each category) are presented for four periods (88-91; 92-95; 96-99 and 2000-2003), distinguishing between five categories of accidents, namely collision, fire/explosion, grounding, sinking – not caused by any of the previous reasons - and other types of accidents. The graph shows a neat decrease of the accidents in “other” category since 1988, as well as fires and explosions, groundings and collisions since the 92-95 period. Accidents falling in the categories “other”, “collision” and “grounding” have even disappeared for the period 2000-2003. On the contrary, the number of sinkings kept increasing since 92-95 and is by far the major type of accident for the period 2000-2003. Graph 14 illustrates the distribution of accidents involving HNS other than oil for each type of vessel. It clearly appears that the number of LNG and LPG carriers, bulk carriers and chemical tankers involved in accidents has dropped continuously between 88-91 and 00-03. Moreover, LNG/LPG carriers, both container and bulk carriers, as well as “other” types of ships, did not contribute to any incident causing or likely to cause pollution of the Mediterranean sea by HNS other than oil for the period 00-03. On the other hand, the proportion of general cargo ships involved in such incidents has increased significantly to reach 90% of the total number of ships in the period 2000-2003.
