Pollution by Oil”
• Entry into Force: October 2nd 1983

Amoco Cadiz was a very large crude carrier

(VLCC) under the Liberian flag, owned. On 16 March
1978, she ran aground on Portsall Rocks, 5km (3nm)

split in three and sank, resulting in one of the largest
oil spills of its kind in history to that date.
Amoco Cadiz contained 1,604,500 barrels (219,797

the complete breakup of the ship, resulting in her
entire cargo of crude oil (belonging to Shell) and
4,000 tons of fuel oil being spilled into the sea.
