5. OIL SPILL CASES
Svyatoy Panteleymon Oil Spills
A Georgian flagged dry cargo ship grounded and broken
into two, in Bosphorus Strait due to
severe weather conditions.
M/V Svyatoy Panteleymon, a 16216 gross tonne dry
cargo vessel, caused an oil spill at Anatolian Lighthouse
at the entrance of Bosphorus Strait.
Oil spill response operation started the operation after 12
hours from the accident.
Firstly, sorbent booms were used along the coastal area
for the prevention of recirculation of oil spill due to the
waves between the shore and sea.
All the critical regions were surrounded by sorbent
booms and the petroleum contaminated areas were
cleaned firstly.
The Municipality of Istanbul and MAVI DENIZ
deployed their oil booms around the ship for pollution
control at the nearby bays.
All 24 crew of the ship were rescued safely. 268 m3 of
fuel oil and 220 m3 of marine diesel oil spilled from the
vessel contaminated the region.
Endeavor Oil Spills
In Izmit Diler Port Authority calls MAVI DENIZ inorderto
clean – up the oil spill from M/V ENDEAVOR.
We negotiate with the ship owner Greece Flag, start to oil
spill operation that takes two months to finished the spill
area.
400 mt oil booms, 1.000 mt sorbents, hundreds of
dispersants, 20 workers, 1 anti pollution work boat,
pressure washers used in the operation.
10 m3 fuel oil spilled from the vessel and ports and rocky
beaches are recovered and cleaned up safely.
6. Stronstiy Oil Spills
On February 13, the Cambodian-flagged cargo ship Stronstiy
sunk during a storm in the Black Sea 7.5 miles (14 km) from
the entrance to the Turkish Straits. Two crewmembers were
lost in the accident.
The ship was battling waves up to twenty feet (six meters)
when it disappeared from the Turkish maritime authority’s
radar screens, eight minutes after the crew radioed that it was
taking on water. Though the storm of February 13 was
undoubtedly severe in nature, the loss of the Stronstiy cannot
be attributed solely to weather.
News reports indicate that the 30-year old vessel began to leak
because it was long overdue for repairs. Stronstiy 's owners, the
St. Vincent-registered marine company Maestro Shipping, had
cancelled the necessary repairs multiple times due to cost.
Furthermore, port state control records from the Paris
Memorandum of Understanding indicate that the vessel’s last
three recorded inspections found deficiencies in life saving
appliances, navigation, accident prevention, and safety in
general, among others.
MAVI DENIZ takes the fuel oil in the tanks and deploy the oil
booms to protect the eco systems in the region.
Granba STS Operation & Oil Spills
For several days preparations were made by our salvors to
lighten the owner of the vessel - BP so that a refloating attempt
could be made, and throughout this time MAVI DENIZ
continued dealing with the oil leaks. Eventually she was
successfully refloated by our stuff and equipments although oil
was still spilling out and MAVI DENIZ response operations
continued.
Whilst alongside discharging, the vessel was again surrounded
with oil booms until she sailed, on June 28th.
7. MSC ROBERTA Oil Spills
A MSC ROBERTA container vessel and a cargo ship AEGEAN WIND collided 4,5 km off the west coast of Turkey
Dardanel Bosphorus, resulting in a 50 tonne oil spill. Three people died and five ISO containers falled to the sea in the
incident, which happened at 5.40 am, and the spilled oil has drifted to the islands and reach to the coast of the Dardanel
mainland.
Anti-pollution vessels and barges have been deployed to contain and recover the fuel diesel oil leaked from a tanker
M/V MSC ROBERTA on the sea. 100 workers and beach cleaning equipments recovered the oil spill on the land.
The North Korean vessel Lujin I ran aground on February
13th as well, with 16 crewmembers aboard at the Black
Sea entrance to the Strait of Istanbul.

days in its last Paris MOU inspection. Deficiencies
