Blue Magpie (ship)
The ''Blue Magpie'' was a 105-metre Japanese freighter owned by Jinyu Shipping Company. It was registered at Panama, and chartered to a Dutch corporation.〔("Oil spill endangers rare birds" ). ''The Montreal Gazette''. 22 November 1983. Retrieved 28 April 2012.〕 In November 1983, it ran aground at Newport, Oregon, spilling 285,000 litres of crude oil into the coastal waters.
==Incident==
On 19 November 1983, the ''Blue Magpie'' was en route to Vancouver, to pick up lumber, after unloading a cargo of Salvadoran coffee in Long Beach, California.〔 Caught up in a storm, the ship attempted to take shelter in Yaquina Bay, but smashed into a coastal rock jetty and broke apart, causing a major oil spill. The vessel's nineteen South Korean crew members were unharmed, and were retrieved from the wreck by helicopter.〔("Freighter breaks up; crew safe" ). ''The Spokesman-Review''. 21 November 1983. Retrieved 28 April 2012.〕
It transpired from Coast Guard radio logs that the ship's captain, Kim Gap Bong, had been repeatedly warned of the danger of trying to enter the harbor. The captain, however, was insistent that he had to get out of the storm. The ''Magpies chief officer, Kang Tae Jung, later explained that their situation had been desperate. The ship had spent nine hours on a violent sea, and was in serious danger of capsizing.〔("Coast Guard tackles oil spill off Oregon coast" ). ''Tri City Herald''. 21 November 1983.
