Abstract

The National Transportation Safety Board determined that the probable cause of the grounding of the Panamanian tankship GRAND EAGLE was the loss of steerageway in a restricted channel when the main engine failed to start after the inadequately supported main diesel control-air tubing fractured due to vibration fatigue. Contributing to the grounding was the lack of an adequate control-air, low-pressure alarm which would have alerted the engineers of a critical drop in control-air pressure and the failure of the engineers to immediately notify the master of their inability to start the main engine.

Technical Report

At 0029, on January 31, 1975, the U.S. Registered tankship SS EDGAR M. QUEENY, laden with chemical and petroleum products, was maneuvering into Marcus Hook channel of the Delaware River in Pennsylvania, when it collided with the Liberian tanker S/T CORINTHOS which was moored and discharging a bulk cargo of crude oil at the British Petroleum Company dock. The port anchor of the QUEENY slightly penetrated the port side plating of the CORINTHOS at an angle of about 39 deg. into one or more of the wing cargo tanks, which were being pumped and were approximately half full.

Marine accident report - grounding of United States Tankship SS MOBILOIL, in the Columbia River near Saint Helens, Oregon, March 19, 1984

Technical Report

About 0006 P.S.T. on March 19, 1984, the fully loaded 618-foot-long United States tankship SS MOBILOIL experienced a steering gear malfunction and grounded in the Columbia River on the right ascending bank about 1 mile upstream from Saint Helens, Oregon. There were no injuries to the 36 persons aboard, but five cargo tanks and the forepeak tank were ruptured, and more than 170,000 gallons of oil polluted the river and its shores. The cleanup cost of the oil spill was estimated to be $3 million, and the cost of the repair to the ship was estimated to be $5 million.more »« less
Public health assessment for east tenth street (FMC Corporation-Marcus Hook Plant), Marcus Hook, Delaware County, Pennsylvania, Region 3. Cerclis No. PAD987323458. Final report

Technical Report

The Earth 10th Street Site, a former rayon/cellophane manufacturing facility, lies about 1/3 mile northwest of the Delaware River in Marcus Hook, Delaware County, Pennyslvania. As a result of past industrial activities at the site, on-site groundwater and soils are contaminated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and metals. On-site soils are also contaminated with asbestos and several on-site buildings contain asbestos which can become friable and airborne. Overall, the site is identified as an indeterminate public health hazard.

Detection and Perception of Sound by Eagles and Surrogate Raptors

Technical Report Marr, Jeffrey; Walsh, Edward; McGee, JoAnn; ...

One overarching objective of this program of study was the accumulation of objective, scientifically valid information relating to auditory performance of bald and golden eagles that may be used to guide the development of acoustic alerting/deterrence technologies intended to discourage encroachment into wind energy air spaces. To that end, analyses aimed at the characterization of sensitivity to sound in bald and golden eagles, along with findings in the supra-threshold, dynamic frequency spaces related to response latencies and amplitudes, leads us to conclude that bald, and golden eagles navigate the same basic working auditory space, as in other known and thusmore »« less
