Rava

The 'Rava', sailing under tug escort, suffered a blackout nroute from Fos-sur-Mer to Cartagena, and was disabled 300 meters from the shore at Istinye Point during the transit of the Bosphorous on May 28, 2021, at 7.20 p.m. Coastal Safety deployed the tug 'Kurtarma 11' and 'Kurtarma 12' as well as the fast rescue boat 'KEGM 5' to assist. After power was restored, the ship proceeded to the Alpha anchorage off Istanbul where it moored in pos. 40° 59.18' N 028° 57.67' E for necessary inspections and troubleshooting. Tankerska Plovidba and the crew onboard were conducting a full investigation to determine the cause of the incident.

An oil spill originated from the shore side/terminal installation pipeline during discharging operations of the "Rava" in the port of Megara the afternoon of March 3, 2019. When the crew noticed the leakage from the shore installation, it immediately stopped the cargo operation and alerted the terminal regarding leakage on their installation. At the time of the incident the vessel was discharging with only one COP (No. 1) with pressure of 2,5 bars on manifold No. 1 and 3,0 bars on manifold No. 3 while agreed/maximum permitted pressure by the terminal was 8 bars. 5,5 after the incident occurred, the discharging operation was resumed, and it was completed at 7.20 p.m. on March 4. Since some oil had polluted the hull along the waterline the oil was cleaned during discharging of remaining cargo at terminal expense. The spill caused pollution to an area of approximately 500 square metres. Oil response teams using detergents and absorbent materials were activated by the authorities. The vessel sailed on March 4 at 10.30 p.m. On March 5 it was moored in pos. 37° 51.91' N 023° 29.49' E on Piraeus anchorage.
