Description:

Mortally wounded after running aground off northern coast of Taiwan, at the small village of Jianzilu, on March 10.
The incident itself claimed no lives directly, but two rescuers later died when their helicopter crashed.
Historically, shipwrecks are good for local economy, with thousands of visitors engaging in "disaster tourism". There's a negative offset, however: kilometers of seacoast polluted by oil seeping from her broken hull.

This is a sad thing to see this vessel in this condition. I sailed on this vessel as 3rd Engineer in 2007-2008.

Now that a weak point if this ship design has been found , an overall look at other ships is a must.

Capt. Ted, it was still possible for the vessel built in 2010 to be exempt from the requirements; also, this was not applicable for small tanks of less than 30m3, otherwise, a minimum distance between the keel and FO tank should have been 76 cm.

Cheers

@Lappino,,, this counts also for center tanks, which have on each side for example a DB ballast tank but to below not ? I was on a ship,, fuel tanks not in the center were inside a ballast tank but two fuel tanks aft under hold 5 were center tanks, which had only ballast tanks on it,s side,,the ship was build in 2010

MARPOL I Reg. 12A requires double hull protection for fuel oil storage tanks, but this vessel was built before it came into effect.
Otherwise, I've seen FO storage tanks pretty much anywhere.

...which leads me to ask questions:- Aren't fuel tanks usually in the aft of a vessel near the engine?
