Fender Shaped Objects are bad for environment

[Wood and Wire]

Definitive proof that Rickenbacker are the only responsible choice :

Weight?

Or is it displacement?

Beam width?

Dual maritime burn

False advertising - that ship isn't shaped like a Fender at all. It might weigh as much as a 70's J, though....

GSO's are obviously the time tested choice…

Does this mean that tort threatens the wee turtles???

IMO, FSO PUPS SMIT TBA, FYI.

Did the incident occur because too much weight was improperly placed upon the bridge?

Weight?

Beam width?

Dual maritime burn

The tonnage is gross.

This reminds me, it's time to change the oil in my FSOs.

I wonder if there's some cats on that boat that play bass?

So many acronyms ...

Floating Storage/Offloading. I don't store my Fender Shaped Object in anything but its case. I certainly don't want any oil spilling on it.

Our construction division used to build offshore underwater crude storage tanks for most OPEC shipping terminals. Think a giant funnel turned upside down on the sea floor with some fancy plumbing in place of the spout to allow filling and emptying of crude oil. These were open bottom vessels dependent on head pressure to keep seawater out, and they were occasionally over pressured, allowing crude to escape under the bottom rim, so feigned concern about a little waste oil escaping during a ship to ship transfer seems more than a bit disingenuous to make stopping a (relatively) small amount of waste from escaping when tons have knowingly spilled in years past with zero effort to do anything about the root cause but work hard to keep that fact a secret.
