MV Tecam Sea

MV Tecam Sea

The Motor Vessel "Tecam Sea" is a bulk carrier built in 1984. The ship was built in Hitachi Innoshima, Japan, and purchased by Sea Quality, a shipping company based in Athens, Greece. The ship was involved in a collision with the M/V "Federal Fuji" in the port of Sorel, Quebec on 27 April 2000.cite web|title=Collision Report|url=http://www.tsb.gc.ca/en/reports/marine/2000/M00L0039/M00L0039.asp|accessdate=February 11|accessyear=2008] The squat effect phenomenon is believed to be a factor in the collision.

The "Tecam Sea", under Panamanian ownership, was involved in illegal oil-waste dumping off the Canadian coast on 8 Sept 2002, resulting in eight serious pollution charges. Due to improper handling of the case by authorities, the case was dismissed and charges were dropped.cite web|title=Illegal Oil Dumping in Canada|url=http://www.spillcon.com/2007papers/Louis%20ARMSTRONGseminar.pdf |accessdate=February 11|accessyear=2008]
