协会提请会员注意一起近期在加油作业期间发生的污染事故，该事故导致了大量燃油泄漏。在加油过程中，燃油通过一条未被发现的、穿过了一个燃油舱的甲板排水管道的裂缝泄漏。这一结构故障直至燃油液位达到裂缝位置的液位高度——燃油开始从船舷泄漏时才被发现。

污染事件——穿过燃油罐的排水管道结构失效
The Club wishes to alert Members to a recent pollution incident that occurred during bunkering operations, that resulted in a significant oil spill. While receiving bunkers, fuel oil escaped through an undetected crack in a deck scupper drain line that penetrated through a fuel oil tank. The structural failure was only discovered after oil began leaking from the vessel’s side when the fuel level reached the height of the defect.
Please see attached file for details.
