   1. Early on the morning of December 19, 1972, the Sea Star and the Horta Barbosa collided in the Gulf of Oman. Both vessels caught fire, and were abandoned by their crews. The Horta Barbosa fire was extinguished within a day. The Sea Star drifted SSE, leaking burning oil from a forty-foot hole in its side. The Sea Star was taken undertow by Awal Contracting and Trading Company tug while still on fire on December 21. Occasional explosions rocked the vessel, and eventually caused it to sink at 25 04 N, 058 12 E on December 24, 1972.

   Madeiran Archipelago, Portugal.
   1. While under tow, the Spanish tank vessel Aragon suffered damage during a storm on December 29, 1989, approximately 360 miles off the coast of Morocco. The damage resulted in the release of approximately 175,000 barrels of Mexican Maya Crude Oil into the Atlantic Ocean, near the Madeiran archipelago. The Portuguese Navy was in charge of the response. They monitored the initial movement of the oil until it made landfall. Approximately three weeks after the spill, pollution occurred on the Portuguese Island of Porto Santo, with oil believed to have been from the Aragon. This was later confirmed when oil samples were taken from the vessel. Portuguese authorities requested assistance from the International Tanker Owners Pollution Federation (ITOPF) and the European Economic Community (EEC) Task Force. Specialists from the ITOPF and EEC Task Force recommended bringing additional equipment to [...]

The Sea Spirit was holed on the starboard side above and below the waterline, causing approximately 48,875 barrels of oil to be spilled into the Mediterranean Sea. Estimates of the total volume spilled ranged from 48,875 to 89,426 barrels. The bows of the Hesperus were destroyed, but the vessel was still capable of sailing and did not leak any of her cargo.

    Esperance, Western Australia.
    1. On the night of February 13, 1991, the Panamanian bulk cargo carrier Sanko Harvest grounded on a submerged rock pinnacle 23 miles south of Esperance, Western Australia. The vessel, out of the shipping lane at the time of the incident, was loaded with 30,000 metric tons of fertilizer, diammonium phosphate, and triple superphosphate. The double hull of the vessel was ripped open in the grounding and the freighter began leaking its fuel oil. On February 18, the ship broke in two in a storm and sank with its entire cargo and bunker fuel. Approximately 3,500 barrels of fuel oil were spilled during the incident. The remaining 900 barrels of oil sank with the ship. Keyword: Sorbents, sinking, International Tanker Owners Pollution Federation (ITOPF), Corexit 9527.
