FacebookTwitterEmailLinkedin IMCA draws lessons learned from an incident where a sodium chloride brine storage tank shifted approximately 0.5m during heavy weather conditions. What happened? While transiting to an offshore field in heavy weather conditions (winds 35-39 kts, swell 4-6m), the vessel experienced heavy rolling and pitching. Although deck cargo was reported as secured, a sodium chloride brine storage tank shifted approximately 0.5m. The tank struck the crash rail, causing the manifold valve to fail and resulting in a limited brine spill onto the main deck. The crew took immediate action to stop the leak, re-secured all deck cargo, and notified the relevant authorities. Limited environmental impact was observed.
