Notes & Discrepancies

• In Column A, ‘A for 2025’ = MARAD Maritime safety information – Crude transfer – nav warning number xxx/25.
• Note that MARAD hides MSI data except for current year.
• EPA uses various wording: EPA lift authorization or EPA crude oil lift number, and EPA Crude Transport and Environmental permit.
• * In the table above = partial duplication, letter part of the permit number repeated elsewhere in the table.
• Variable naming of the oil tanker: MT Baker Spirit or Barker Spirit? MT Orpheus or Orpheas?

Discrepancies found in January-June 2025:

Two (consecutive) MARAD Nav Warnings for the same tanker, same arrival date, same FPSO but only one EPA/COT:

• There may have been accidental duplication of Nav Warning numbers:
• Tanker Eurovision, Nav Warnings 122 and 123, single EPA/COT 25UNY035.
• Tanker Monte Serantes, Nav Warnings 117 and 118, single EPA/COT 25PTY034.

Two MARAD Nav Warning numbers for the same tanker and same FPSO but different arrival dates and only one EPA/COT:

• The two numbers may indicate uncertainty about arrival date:
• Tanker Starway, Nav Warning 019 on 170930Z and Nav Warning 020 on 190930Z for January, single EPA/COT 25PTY005.
• Tanker Emeraldway, Nav Warning 029 on 290930Z and Nav Warning 030 on 310930Z for January, single EPA/COT 25PTY008.
• Tanker Antarctic, Nav Warning 055 on 030930Z and Nav Warning 057 on 040930Z for March, single EPA/COT 25PTY016.
• Tanker Cypres, Nav Warning 130 on 010930Z and Nav Warning 133 on 030230Z for June, single EPA/COT 25DNY022.
• Tanker Pluto Moon, Nav Warning 139 on 080930Z and Nav Warning 140 on 100930Z for June, single EPA/COT 25DNY023.
• Tanker Red Nova, Nav Warning 144 on 150930Z for June, two EPA/COTs 25PTY042 for 15-17 June and 25UNY042 for 17-19 June.

Two MARAD Nav Warnings and two EPA/COT numbers for the same tanker with arrivals a few days apart:

• These numbers also may indicate uncertainty about arrival date. One pair of Nav Warning / COT may have actually been unused.
• Tanker Red Nova, Nav Warning 047 on 240930Z for February, EPA/COT 25UNY013 for FPSO Unity on 20-22 February, then Nav Warning 049 on 240930Z for February, EPA/COT 25DNY008 for FPSO Destiny on 24-26 February.
• Tanker Maran Danae, Nav Warning 066 on 120930Z for March, EPA/COT 25UNY018, then Nav Warning 069 on 160930Z for March, EPA/COT 25UNY019 for the same FPSO Unity.
• Tanker Azure Nova, Nav Warning 129 on 310930Z for May, EPA/COT 25PTY037 (EPA error, should be 25PTY038), and Nav Warning 134 for June, EPA/COT 25PTY039, both for FPSO Prosperity.
• Tanker Cobalt Nova, Nav Warning 112 on 080930Z for May, EPA/COT 25PTY032 for FPSO Prosperity on 08-10 May, then Nav Warning 113 on 110930Z for May, EPA/COT 25UNY008 for FPSO Unity on 11-13 May.

Errors in EPA/COT numbers:

• Tanker Antarctic, 19 January, 25UNY004 should be 25UNY005 because 25UNY004 had been used for tanker Advantage Solar on 15 January.
• Tanker Minerva Evropi, 09 March, 25DNY009 should be 25DNY010 because 25DNY009 had been used for tanker Cobalt Nova on 02 March.
• Tanker Azure Nova, 31 May, 25PTY037 should be 25PTY038 because 25PTY037 had been used for tanker Silverway on 25 May.

Two EPA/COT numbers not matching any MARAD Nav Warning numbers:

• Tanker Jose do Patrocinio to load from FPSO Destiny under EPA/COT 25DNY012 on 24-26 March.
• Tanker Antarctic to load from FPSO Unity under EPA/COT 25UNY021 on 24-26 March.
