~:
A device especiallY for the recovery of hydrocarbon~. or ; :
other chemicals from_tanks of a wrecked shlp .
This .invention relates to a device especially for the ~;~
recovery of hydrocarbons or other chemicals from the cargo tanks, possibly also from the fuel tanks, of a foundered tanker resting on the seabed, deck being under water.
Systems for of~shore transer of liquid and/or gaseous cargo fromtto production plants to/from vessel are previously known. Thus, according to Norwegian patent specification No.
143,139, a method is provided for transferring a fluid from a station on the seabed to a surface vessel, or vica versa, said vessel being equipped with dynamic positioning equipment, wherein a unload/load buoy in submerged condition .~, and anchored to the seabed carries a conduit connection for coupling to the vessel, said buoy having means for adjustment of the immersion thereof. This known method is characterized in that the conduit connection's free end including a coupling unit at the buoy is caught by a claw lowerable and liftable from the bottom portion of the vessel, to be raised and coupled to a connector on the vessel. As will appear, the solution according to said patent specification does not relate to any emergency :
situation.
A carge of oil or chemicals within a Eoundered tanker may represeni enormous amounts of money and will, moreover, W092/05~8 PCT/~091/~0120 2~ 127 after a time constitute a considerable pollution risk. For the oil or chemicals within the tank or tank wherein a leak has sprung durlng the wreck, little or nothlng can be done, but it would be of enormous economical/environmental impo-tance to be able of recovering e.g. liguid hydrocarbons within intact cargo tanks as soon as possible subsequent to the wreck.
In order to recover oil or other liquid chemicals from foundered ships whexe the deck is under water, positional determination is an obvious pre-condition. ~hereafter, it is extremely important to ascertain what kind of cargo the ship in fact carried, in order to start bringing the cargo to the surface as quickly as possible.
The i.nvention is based on paying due attention to these wish~s/objects in a simple and reliable way.
The following claim l indicates those features nece~sary ~n a device for carrying out the invention.
Thus, in accordance with the invention, preferably each single cargo tank and possibly also each single fuel tank of a tanker is assigned an external floating body wherein is attached a top end portion of a transport hose which in the state of readiness - corresponding to the surface position of the ship - over the major portion of its length has been coiled onto e.g. a windle or coil fastened to the ship or to the floating body, the bottom end portion which is located within the respective tank, is attached to the ship construction. Said top end portion of the transport hose carries a connector, and at the attachement point of the transport hose in the ship construction, a valve should be arxanged.

When a thusly equipped tanker founders and the deck of the ship comes under water, each single floating body due to buoyancy immediately will start to move upwards through the water and bring with it its transport hose which hereby is rewound from the windle and straightens out. The longitudinal extension of the transport hose between the respective floating body and the attachment point in the ship construction determines the final position of the floating body in relation to the sea level. The transport hose would be dimensioned such that the floating body will reach the surface at normal sea depths for wrecks. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, each floating body is connected to a smaller floating body by means of a line, rope or the like taking a coiled condition in the position of readiness, and which is adapted to come into action and float to a surface position when the larger floating body due to limited transport hose length is not in a position to do so.
Said larger and smaller floating bodies would be provided with information concerning e.g. the name of the ship, the type and amount of cargo, etc., and the smaller floating body may, moreover, have a battery-driven emergency sounding transmitter, emergency light, etc.
Said connector of the transport hose is adapted to secure connection to another pump-driven transport hose at or adjacent to sea level, for pumping-up of the ship's cargo.
In accordance with a preferred embodiment, the lower end portion of the transport hose has such a length from its attachment point in the ship construction to a heavy end mouth piece that a complete emptying of the tank is secured, said end mouth piece due to its weight at all times seeking the deepest located point within the tank.
W092/~5~8 PCT/NO91/001~0 2~312~
Thus, the deviee according to the invention gives a quick information to the rescue crew on a founderecl tanker's position and on type/amount of oil or other c:hemicals within the cargo and fuel tanks, so that the necessary measures may be taken as soon as possible in order to rec~ver the oil/
chemicals.
The device according to the invention will contribute substantially in reducing the contamination of the sea.
The device according to the invention which only needs a minimum and simple maintenance, is easily post-installed on existing tankers.
The device according to the invention is automatically released when the floating body comes under water and, thus, is not dependent on any form of drive means in order to function.
As mentioned introductorily, the device may as well be utilized for fuel tanks.
The invention is further explained in the following in association with an embodiment which is diagrammatically illustrated in the attached drawings, wherein:
Figure 1 shows a situation view of a foundered tanker resting on the seabed, laying on its side, ship's deck being under water, and wherein the device according to the invention is shown in two positions, one in fully drawn lines at shallow water, the other in dotted lines at deeper water;
Figure 2 shows, on a larger scale, a partial lateral view, partly in section ~perpendicularly to the deck), of a device according to the invention in the position of readiness :, :- . : :.: ~ . . .

thereof, corresponding to the surface position of the tanker;
Figure 3 shows, on an even larger scale, a top plane vlew of a floating body incorporated in the device according to the invention.
First, reference is made to figure 1, wherein reference numeral 1 denotes a foundered tanker resting on the seabed 2, laying on the side, ship's deck 3 being under water.
The ship's cargo tanks, the hatches thereof being denoted 4 - 8, are each assigned a device according to the invention, herein represented by a floating body 9. The ship'l; fuel tank is also assigned such a device (floating body 9').
Figure 2 shows three of the ship's cargo tanks, denoted 4', 5' and 6' . The device according to the invention is shown only for the intermediate cargo tank 5' and comprises said floating body 9, which is loosely supported in a seat frame 10. The latter is carried by a hose housing 11. The hose housing 11 is attached to the hull in a manner not shown, e.g. on the tank hatch 5. The "loose" suspension of the floating body 9 will cause it to float towards the surface as soon as it comes under water.
Within the floating body 9 is anchored a top end portion 12' of a transport hose 12 which, in the position of readiness, corresponding to the ship's 1 surface position, over the substantial length thereof is coiled within the hose housing 11, e.g. onto a windle or coil fastened to the ship or to -the floating body, the bottom end portion 12" of the -transport hose 12 being located within the cargo tank 5' itself, wherein the level of the cargo is denoted 13.
:. . . , .. . . : . : .
W092/05~8 P~T/NO9t~00120 2 ~ 2 7 It goes without saying that the top end portion 12' o~ the transport hose 12 may be replaced by a rigid pipe coupled to the upper end of the hose 12. The top end portion 12' of the transport hose 12 is provided with an end connector 14 which, preferably, is assigned an open/close valve 15. The connector 14 is formed with a view of enabling a rapid coupling to a pump-driven transport conduit (not shown) at or adjacent the surface 16 for recovery o~ the cargo within the foundered ship.
:.
When a tanker 1 equipped with devices according to the invention founders, the floating bodies 9,9' due to buoyancy ~ -will leave their respective seat frames 10 and move upwards through the water, whereunder they rewind their respective transport hoses 12, each having an attachment point 17 in the ship at the upper limitation of said bottom hose end portion 12" where, preferably, a valve is arranged. The length of the transport hose 12 determines the highest possible position of the floating bodies 9,9' above the foundered ship.
In figure 1, in solid lines, a position has been shown wherein the floating bodies 9 have reached the surface 16, ,and the length of the hose would be dimensioned such that this will occur in most cases (at normal depths for wrecks).
In order to enable positional determination/recovery of cargo also from ships foundered at larger sea depths, at least one floating body 9 may be provided with a smaller floating body 18 connected to the larger floating body 9 by means of a coiled rope or llne 19.
In figure 1, in dotted lines, a position where the floating bodies 9 have not reached the surface 16 has been indicated, but where the smaller floating bodies 18 have reached the ~ :. ~''' '.' ' ' '' '' . . `

In order to secure that the inlet to the bottom end portion of the transport hose 12 at all times will be located at the deepest point of the cargo tank and, thus, enable a complete discharge of the tank, said bottom end portion 12" has such a length from its attachment point 17 in the ship construction that the hose end may reach any point within .
the tank. To this end, the hose end is equipped with a heavy mouthpiece 20 which, due to its weight, will seek to the deepest positioned place within the tank.
The floating bodies 18 are provided with battery-driven emergency sounding transmitter 21 and emergency light 22.
The top face of the floating body 9 may, as shown in figure 3, carry an information board 23 indicating name of ship, kind and amount of cargo, etc. The small floating body lB
may have a corresponding information board (not shown).
Suitably, the large floating body 9 may be equipped with hand grip, steps and (walking) mat in order to facilitate mounting through the establishment of a connection between the transport hose 12 and a pump conduit. I should be appreciated without saying that several tanks 4',5',6' might be interconected through a pipe and valve arrangement, so that substantally one device according to the invention may be used for a plurality of tanks.
