Casualty investigation report on 'Cosco Busan'

摘要

The US Coast Guard has released the marine casualty investigation report for the allision between 'Cosco Busan' and the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge on November 7, 2007.rnThe report outlines the causal and contributing factors that led to the accident that resulted in the discharge of more than 200,000 litres of oil into San Francisco Bay. The allision caused a gash measuring approximately 45 metres long by 3.5 metres high on the port side of the ship, puncturing two of the ship's fuel tanks and damaging the fendering system on the Delta tower of the bridge, resulting in a significant environmental cleanup.
