Fire on Polytraveller Offshore loading from Statfjord had been underway for eight months when Polytraveller suffered an explosive fire on 21 August 1980. A break in the mooring line between the Statfjord A loading buoy and the shuttle tanker was the indirect cause. The master and first officer were both seriously injured, and the former died two weeks later from his injuries. It emerged at the marine accident inquiry that the sheath on the hawser holding the ship to the buoy was observed 30 minutes before the accident to have slipped down so that the white core was visible. The hawser comprised two layers, with the external sheath designed for safety reasons to break under a certain load. Pumps and the loading hose were then supposed to have been disconnected, but this was not done. Half-an-hour later, the hawser parted with a bang and fell into the water. Positioned in the bow control room on Polytraveller, the first officer heard the bang and assumed the hawser had parted. He reacted swiftly by pressing the button which caused the loading hose to disconnect quickly. Oil flooded over the deck and caught fire. The whole bow was wreathed in smoke. When the hose disconnected, it swung from side to side and sprayed crude over the whole deck. At the same time, the chain at the end of the mooring hawser rushed over the steel plates in a shower of sparks which ignited the oil. Two methods were prescribed for disconnecting the ship quickly from the loading buoy in an emergency – either a staged process which took 25 seconds and prevented oil being spilt from the hose, or an immediate disconnection which risked spilling some 250 barrels of oil into the sea. The first officer opted for the second of these. An investigation indicated that a failure in the hawser between ship and buoy was the indirect cause of the accident, but that a communication failure between Statfjord A and Polytraveller led to more oil than expected being spilt from the hose. This spillage was probably ignited by sparks from the chain. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/derJzGZe #industriminne #industrialheritage #petroleummuseum #norskoljemuseum #statfjord #statoil #equinor

"Seaman" is obviously not such a cool word as "wharfinger" but who is and is not a seaman (and therefore what rights and remedies are available) is still being fought over. The Fifth Circuit provides the latest word in this recent case. Here's my update.
"Not all at Sea are Seamen" - the Fifth Circuit ruled in Santee v. Oceaneering International, Inc. that a technician on a drill ship was not a Jones Act seaman, reaffirming a narrower definition established in Sanchez v. Smart Fabricators of Tex., LLC. Adams and Reese Maritime Team Leader Matt Guy explains this important legal decision and how it impacts the maritime industry.
