The vessel was traveling outside normal shipping lanes in an attempt to avoid ice. Within six hours of the grounding, the Exxon Valdez spilled approximately 10.9 million gallons of its 53 million gallon cargo of Prudhoe Bay crude oil. Eight of the eleven tanks on board were damaged. The oil would eventually impact over 1,100 miles of non-continuous coastline in Alaska, making the Exxon Valdez the largest oil spill to date in U.S. waters.

The oil leaked into the River Dulov on Sunday from a factory which is involved with developing space rocket technology, conservation group WWF said. WWF said the spill measured around 500 tonnes and had killed around 100 ducks. It accused the authorities of playing down its size and being slow to respond. "Local authorities in the first days after the accident did not take any action and lost a lot of time," WWF representative Alexei Knizhnikov said in a statement.

On Friday, November 26, 2004, at approximately 9:15 p.m., the 750-foot, single-hull tanker Athos I, registered under the flag of Cyprus, was reported to be leaking oil into the Delaware River en route to its terminal at the CITGO asphalt refinery in Paulsboro, New Jersey. As two tugboats were helping the vessel manuever to its terminal, a routine procedure, one of the tugboat operators noticed oil in the water, and the oil tanker listed eight degrees and lost power. Two punctures in the tanker's hull 1-foot-by-2-foot and 1-foot-by-6-foot in size later were confirmed by Coast Guard divers. Provided by U.S. House of Representatives.
