Venpet–Venoil collision
The ''Venpet''–''Venoil'' collision was a maritime accident involving sister supertankers; the Liberian-registered ''Venoil'' and ''Venpet'', in dense fog off the coast of South Africa on 16 December 1977. The tankers were travelling in opposite directions; the ''Venoil'' fully laden with over 250,000 tonnes of crude oil bound for Nova Scotia and the ''Venpet'', travelling in ballast, headed for Kharg Island, Iran. The ''Venoil'' ploughed into the ''Venpet'', eventually leading to the spilling of approximately 26,600–30,500 tonnes of crude oil.
==History==
Both tankers were constructed in Nagasaki, Japan by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd, work beginning on the ''Venoil'' in October 1972 and the ''Venpet'' in January 1973. The vessels were completed in March and June 1973 respectively at the cost of approximately $28m each. Each vessel was more than 330,000 deadweight (DWT) which, at the time, classified them as Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs). The current classification for vessels over 300,000 DWT is Ultra Large Crude Carriers (ULCC).
