Potential consequences from the point of view of explosion and fire hazard of a disastrous accident that caused the wreck and destruction of two tankers of sea-river type “Volgoneft-239” and “Volgoneft-212” in the Kerch Strait during a heavy storm, resulting in a spill of 3.700 tons of mazut have been considered. Using well-known dependencies interconnecting the values of the mazut vapor flame lower explosive limits and the relevant data of the pressure of saturated vapors, the generation of fir
