Thermal Runaway of Lithium-Ion Battery Destroys Tanker’s Bridge

Mike Schuler November 9, 2023

 

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) on Thursday said that a fire on an oil tanker last year was caused by the thermal runaway of a cell within a handheld radio’s lithium-ion battery.

 

The incident occurred while the vessel, named S-Trust, was docked at the Genesis Port Allen Terminal in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on November 13, 2022.

 

The fire resulted in extensive damage throughout the bridge, including significant smoke and thermal damage, amounting to $3 million in total. The navigation systems, communication systems, and alarm systems on the vessel were irreparably damaged.

 

The S-Trust carried 20 of these radios for communication during vessel operations. The batteries and chargers were stored on the communications table on the bridge. Fortunately, the crew managed to extinguish the fire, and no injuries were reported.

 

Lithium-ion battery cell explosions are commonly caused by thermal runaway, a chemical reaction that can lead to the cell igniting and exploding. Thermal runaway can occur spontaneously if the battery is damaged, shorted, overheated, defective, or overcharged.

 

To prevent thermal runaways and subsequent fires, the NTSB advises crews to follow manufacturers’ instructions for the care and maintenance of lithium-ion batteries, properly dispose of damaged batteries, avoid unsupervised charging, and keep batteries and chargers away from heat sources and flammable materials.

 

The NTSB report also recommends that companies ensure that lithium-ion batteries and devices using these batteries are certified by Underwriters Laboratory or another recognized organization.

 

In the event of a lithium-ion battery fire, crews can attempt to extinguish the fire using water, foam, CO2, or other dry chemical or powdered agents designed for Class A (combustible) fires. If the fire cannot be extinguished, personnel should allow the battery pack to burn in a controlled manner while monitoring for nearby cells experiencing thermal runaway and extinguishing other combustible materials that may catch fire.

 

Overall the incident highlights the importance of proper handling and maintenance of lithium-ion batteries to prevent hazardous situations and ensure the safety of personnel and equipment.

 

Marine Investigation Report 23-23 is available on the NTSB website.

US Alarms Tanker Owners With Russian Price Cap Letters

Bloomberg November 14, 2023

 

The US Treasury’s sudden flurry of letters to tanker companies for potentially breaching a Group of Seven price cap on Russian oil trades included a warning that those who don’t comply with the probe properly could face prison.

 

The communication, sent last week by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, represents a stark change of regulatory tone from Washington, with the US and its allies having previously taken a light-touch approach to enforcement.

 

Two vessel owners, who asked not to be identified, said they would try to understand what the US Treasury’s goal is before deciding on whether to allow their vessels go to Russia again. One of them said previous indications from regulators had encouraged owners to believe attestations of compliance were enough.

 

Regulators’ concern in the past had been that disrupting Russia’s vast flows of petroleum could drive up oil prices. Now, it appears that Moscow’s rising oil revenues, helping to fund its war in Ukraine, are becoming hard to ignore.

 

Almost every grade of Russian crude has been trading above a $60 a barrel cap imposed by the Group of Seven for months, even if its flagship Urals grade has slipped back toward that level in recent weeks.

 

In theory, that should have precluded firms in G-7 nations from providing services including financing, shipping and insurance for the cargoes, but many carried on. They were relying on assurances from enforcement authorities that sufficient documentation — including an attestation that cargoes were purchased below $60 — would shield service providers from sanctions.

 

This week, though, it emerged that the Treasury wrote to about 30 firms controlling about 100 oil tankers in about 12 locations regarding their compliance with cap.

Criminality

 

A copy of one of the letters, which was seen by Bloomberg, suggested a handful of tankers run by one firm might have transported Russian cargo at a price above the threshold. It asked for wide-ranging information and documentation about the shipments and the entities involved in them.

 

The letter said that not disclosing the requested information “may result in criminal fines, imprisonment or both.”

 

Two insurers also said that the tone of conversations with authorities has shifted in recent weeks, suggesting a stricter implementation of the price cap.

 

It remains to be seen how aggressive the Treasury will ultimately be.

 

If shipowners moving barrels under the price cap decided to stop hauling Russian petroleum, it might either curtail the nation’s exports or force more of the trade onto a large shadow fleet of vessels with questionable environmental credentials that Moscow has amassed since western sanctions ratcheted up. Neither outcome would be ideal for Washington or Brussels.

 

But the letters are a reminder that US authorities can become more assertive at any time, and that dealing in Russian oil could carry risks in the future.

 

A US Treasury spokesperson said on Monday that the department doesn’t confirm or comment on investigations or enforcement actions but is committed to enforcing the cap.

 

Both the US and UK have ramped up enforcement of the price cap in recent weeks.

 

Last month, the US Treasury blacklisted two vessels for hauling Russian supplies in what it said were breaches of the cap. One of those vessels, which was on hire to Exxon Mobil Corp. at the time of being sanctioned, has since been sitting in the Gulf of Mexico for three weeks.

 

The UK also sanctioned the Dubai arm of an oil trader last week, in its first enforcement measure around the policy.
