Didn't open the cargo tank vent during discharge. The pump just sucked that tank down. Kind of like that picture of the hillbilly that can suck his face into his mouth.

Ballast tank vents are built always open.

This is a very small quantity, less than 1500 bbls. Must be a chemical tanker with multiple compartments. If she was less than 6000 metric tons, it might indicate a smaller vessel.
