Industry — whose activities create the risk — bears financial responsibility to prepare for and respond to spills. In Canada, industry is required to do so through 4 industry-funded and government-certified response organizations which are prepared to respond to spills.
Simply stated — if a tanker is headed to a Canadian port, the shipowner must have an agreement with a response organization before entering Canadian waters.
In the event of a spill, the polluter is, by law, required to pay for the cost of clean-up. Unlike the south, there are no certified response organizations for Arctic spills. Preparedness in the Arctic requires ship and oil handling facility owners to identify — in their respective spill response plans — the resources they would employ to respond to a spill. The Canadian government delivers the legislation and regulation for the spill response regime and oversees industry's preparedness and actions during a spill.
Transport Canada provides the government's legislative and regulatory mandate while the Canadian Coast Guard is tasked with overseeing the response to the spill as the "on-scene commander. When a spill from a tanker occurs in Canada, there are different sources of compensation from international and domestic funds.
International conventions make shipowners liable for oil spills from tankers. Liability depends on the size of the ship, and must be backed by the shipowners' mandatory insurance. Learn more. This Canadian fund was created from levies collected from oil cargo companies. It addresses spills of any type of oil from any type of ship — not just tankers.
Canada is a member of the International Oil Pollution Compensation Funds which administers 2 international funds created from levies collected from oil cargo companies. Clear Seas was established in after extensive discussions among government, industry, environmental organizations, Indigenous peoples and coastal communities revealed a need for impartial information about the Canadian marine shipping industry. Our funders saw the need for an independent organization that would be a source of objective information on issues related to marine shipping in Canada.
Our research agenda is defined internally in response to current issues, reviewed by our research advisory committee , and approved by our board of directors. Our board of directors is composed of scientists, community leaders, engineers and industry executives with decades of experience investigating human, environmental and economic issues related to our oceans, coastlines and waterways.
Our reports and findings are available to the public at clearseas. The recent approval of pipeline projects in Canada is expected to increase the amount of oil tankers transiting Canadian waters. Oil Tankers Since the late 19th century, oil tankers have been used to transport large amounts of oil across oceans and waterways.
Tanker Sizes and Capacities Panamax. How to Spot a Tanker Tankers are easily identifiable. Setting of Lines and Valves 2. Pressure Valve Operations 3. Proper handling of generated pressure surges 4. Loading Procedures 6. Discharging Procedures 7. Pipeline and Hose Clearing after all Cargo Operations. Leakage of hose couplings should be checked before loading. Tank lids are closed, and tank riser is placed in the loading position.
Lower the ullage meter to its lowest position. Shut the suction and discharge valves. Connect the terminal lines and manifold of the ship through hoses. After adequately checking the ship for all pre-loading operations, ship indicates the terminal that it is safe to open the loading valves now and start loading. Loading should be started slowly to ensure that all connections are oil tight, and there is no static accumulation. Supervise the pump room, if the oil is flowing over boards through sea-chests, ask for immediate shutdown.
Take the samples of oil being loaded, for checking its temperature. After all checking, the speed of loading of oil may be increased to its maximum allowable rate. Regular supervision should be ensured of the moorings, emergency, towing wire, etc. The tank valve is closed as soon as the ullage reached its calculated level. The speed must be minimized near the end of loading, so the chances of overtopping or overflow will be diminished.
Firstly close the shore valve and then close the manifold valves. Tank valves should be closed at last. In the drip tray hoses and loading arms are emptied after closing all the valves, before disconnecting the hoses with the manifold. Blind flanges are inserted in manifold valves after disconnecting loading arms from them and close all the main and cross over valves.
Ship or terminal representative or cargo inspector should take the details of the ullage, density, and temperature of the freight loaded.
This will help the receiver to calculate the quantity of cargo before discharge. Then connect the hoses to the tank and open the tank ventilators. Free the pump room from gas and open the necessary valves.
Throughout the discharge procedure keep going the ventilators of the pump room. Open the necessary cargo lines along with the terminal valves. Start the inert gas and let the pumps stand by until the discharging is about to start.

Here primary barrier is constructed up of Invar and secondary from Triplex. Till now only 3 vessels are made using this membrane system by 1 shipyard.
Chemical Tankers: Chemical tankers are those cargo tankers which transport chemicals in various forms. Chemical tankers are specifically designed in order to maintain the consistency of the chemicals they carry aboard them. These tanker ships are applied with coatings of certain substances that help in the easy identification of the chemicals that need to be transported.
Chemical tankers are tankers that are used to transport various liquid chemicals. Each Chemical Tankers transport the same kind of chemicals. The size is very smaller of these vessels as compared to the Oil tankers due to the specialized nature of the cargo and the size restriction of the Ports and shore facilities.
It consists of various tanks which are coated with specialized coatings such as Phenolic epoxy or stainless steel or zinc paint. Type of coating of their tanks determines the suitable cargo the chemical which can be carried. Products which possess very serious environmental and safety hazards which require maximum preventive measures to prevent any leakage of cargo comes under Type 1 Chemical Tanker.
Chemical products with markedly severe environmental and safety hazards which require significant preventive measures to forestall any escape of such cargo can be classified as Type 2 Chemical Tankers.
Chemical tankers which transport products with amply severe environmental and safety hazards which require a moderate degree of containment in a damaged condition can be referred to as Type 3 Chemical Tankers. Slurry Tankers: Slurry refers to all those materials that do not disperse or dissolve in water — otherwise regarded as waste materials. The slurry is used as a fertiliser and the slurry tankers help to haul slurry to areas where they can be put to productive use.
This type of vessel is used to carry frittered products where it will be economically useful. These types of vessels are not ideal for shipping any other chemical products other than slurry itself. Hydrogen Tankers: As the name suggests, hydrogen tankers are cargo tankers used for the shipping and transportation of liquefied hydrogen gas. These tankers are specifically designed to carry Liquified hydrogen gas in bulk.
Kawasaki heavy industry was the first to design a Hydrogen Tanker. Juice Tankers: As the name suggests, these tankers were specifically designed for the carriage of juices. Juice tankers or more specifically orange juice tankers which are used for the cargo carrying of orange juice in mass quantities.
They either carry concentrated or fresh orange juice, originating from Brazil to the other parts of the world. One of the biggest juice tankers is the Brazilian tanker, Carlos Fischer.
However, other fruit juices carriers are also available. These tankers have refrigeration, temperature controller and preservation plants, which helps them to keep the juice fresh at all times.
Wine Tankers: Transporting wine has become quite simpler and feasible in contemporary times as sleek tankers have come up which are used specifically to carry wine to their intended destinations. These tankers are used in carrying wine from the place of production to their different destination.
Wine tankers are for transporting already produced wine from one country to another country for packaging. In this type of vessel, the stern is jagged into a special type of tugs which can easily be connected to the barge, establishing it as a single unit.
ITBs are prominently used in the eastern coast of the United States. These tankers are mainly tugs attached to barges leading to the formation of a single cargo carrying unit. A number of barges can be connected to a single tug to increase the carrying capacity. These possess similar characteristics of a ship of proportionate size. It has a very comfortable seakeeping capability, stability and dynamicity.
The tug here remains in the pushing mode throughout its voyage. This type of ITB can operate in both the configuration either combined or as tow on a hawser, where tug can separate safely from the barge itself.
It meets the stability criteria in aspects of weather, dynamic and towline pull. As per the construction of hull, the tankers can be categorised into 2 categories. Single Hull Tankers have only 1 outer layer which is watertight and this layer runs throughout the structure of the vessel. This construction of the vessel has a greater threat to the marine environment.
