The ''Texanita'' exploded and sank with the loss of 47 men, while a further life was lost on the ''Oswego Guardian''. The accident was a catalyst for change to marine traffic separation procedures as well as oil tanker inerting. ==Accident== The ''Oswego-Guardian'' was rounding the southern tip of Africa, fully loaded with crude oil from the Middle East, while the ''Texanita'' was in ballast, and headed in the opposite direction from Trinidad to Ras Tanura. Both ships were approximately 100,000 tons deadweight and Liberian-registered. The ships collided in dense fog off Stilbaai, near Cape Agulhas. The oil vapours in the ''Texanitas two empty tanks ignited, creating a massive explosion that tore the ship apart, causing it to sink in four minutes with the loss of 47 of its 50 crew; the explosion was heard away, inland from the coast. A United Nations resolution〔(【引用サイトリンク】International Maritime Organization">url=http://www.imo.org/about/conventions/listofconventions/pages/international-convention-for-the-safety-of-life-at-sea-(solas),-1974.aspx )〕 that would have made the use of inert gas safety systems mandatory for oil tankers, was still in draft in 1972. Experts believe that were the ''Texanita'' inerted, her fate might have been less tragic, possibly like that of the ''Venoil''.〔 The subsequent investigation determined that the masters of both ships failed to maintain an adequate lookout or to plot the course of the opposite ship; both ships also failed to reduce speed, despite observing one another on radar. At the time, the accident was the biggest tanker collision on record. One of the ''Texanitas lifeboats was found at Bunbury, Western Australia two years later. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Oswego-Guardian–Texanita collision」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
