- W1985940117 abstract "ABSTRACT On November 1, 1979, a collision of the Liberian registered tanker Burmah Agate and the Liberian freighter, Mimosa, produced the largest oil spill in U.S. waters for the year. The Burmah Agate, carrying almost 400,000 barrels of Nigerian crude (API No. 29.1) and a blend (API No. 39.3), settled on the bottom in 13.5 meters of water approximately 7 kilometers southeast of Galveston Entrance (lat. 29°17.8′ N, long. 94°37.3′ W). The collision ruptured two starboard midship tanks resulting in explosions and fire that left 33 dead. Listing slightly to starboard with part of the deck awash, the Burmah Agate continued to burn out of control for over 2 months. Responsibility for firefighting and onshore cleanup was assumed by the ship owners. However, the U.S. Coast Guard took an active role in the containment and recovery of spilled oil at the wreck site, and protection of oil-sensitive environments onshore. Booms, skimmers, and skimming barriers were deployed around the ship and recovery of spilled oil began by November 9, 1979. Early recovery efforts were hampered by weather and burning slicks which destroyed booms deployed too close to the ship. However, during the succeeding month, over 6,700 barrels of oil and water emulsion were recovered from the water. Booms and skimmers were deployed in Galveston Entrance, San Luis Pass, and smaller passes to the west to minimize the potential threat of spilled oil to sensitive coastal environments. The fire burned itself out by January 8, 1980, after 250,000 barrels had either been consumed by fire or released into the environment. Over 150,000 bbl were eventually salvaged from the forward tanks before the ship was refloated and towed to Brownsville, Texas, for scrap." @default.
