Abstract

The tugboat USS Peacock was sunk near the tip of the Castillogrande peninsula in the Bay of Cartagena when it accidentally collided with the Norwegian-flagged merchant ship MS Hindanger on 23 August 1940. Almost split in two, it quickly sank, killing three crew members while 23 were rescued. Since it started to be monitored in 1992, it has been noted that fuel drops sporadically come out of the shipwreck and its position coincides with the measurements of the highest concentration of hydrocarbons in the bay. The Diving and Salvage Department of the Colombian Navy has been monitoring this situation that is still ongoing. Therefore, this article suggests a research project to evaluate of the amount of fuel that the shipwreck may have on board and to study the alternatives to remove it in order to allay the environmental risk.

对卡塔赫纳德印第亚斯湾前美国海军孔雀号沉船上的燃料污染风险进行评估的必要性
1940 年 8 月 23 日,美国海军 "孔雀 "号拖船在卡塔赫纳湾卡斯蒂略格兰德半岛顶端附近与悬挂挪威国旗的商船 "MS Hindanger "号相撞沉没。该船几乎被劈成两半,很快沉没,3 名船员遇难,23 人获救。自 1992 年开始对沉船进行监测以来,人们注意到沉船中不时有燃料滴出,其位置与海湾中碳氢化合物浓度最高的测量值相吻合。哥伦比亚海军潜水打捞局一直在监测这一情况,目前仍在进行中。因此,本文建议开展一个研究项目,评估沉船上可能有多少燃料,并研究清除燃料的替代办法,以减轻环境风险。
