Ievoli Sun was a chemical tanker chartered by Napolitan ship-owner Domenico Ievoli. On 31 October 2000, she sank at Шаблон:Coord, approximately Шаблон:Convert off the Casquets in the English Channel, with a 6,000-ton load, including 4,000 tons of styrene, 1,000 tons of methyl ethyl ketone and 1,000 tons of isopropyl alcohol.
History
The wreckage was caused by bad weather, and water intake at the bow, which filled the forward storage area and the bow thruster bay. The increase in weight caused a negative pitch, which worsened while more compartments filled.
A distress call was received by the CROSS at 04:30. At 07:17, a Super Frelon of the French Navy departed to evacuate the 14-man crew of the tanker, amid Шаблон:Convert winds. An hour later, the helicopter arrived on the scene, and evacuated the crew in 40 minutes. The tugboat Шаблон:Ship arrived and started tugging the tanker at Шаблон:Convert toward Normandy.
The next day in the morning, Ievoli Sun sank. The Шаблон:Sclass Шаблон:Ship and the Шаблон:Sclass2 Шаблон:Ship were sent on the scene to reinforce Abeille Flandre and monitor pollution. Only small traces of chemicals were noticed.
