Re: Yikes! Big Oil Spill!
This one is going to be a mixed bag, I think. What was spilled is No. 6 bunker oil. From what I have read, it tends to evaporate to some degree but is heavy enough that some of it will behave sort of like crude in a spill.
Another bit of news today is that the tug company, DRD Towing, was involved in another collison a couple of weeks ago. I read about that one too but didn't know it was the same company until this morning. In that incident, their tug sank in the Mississippi River, in 82 feet of water. The crew apparently was licensed properly, though.
Hmmmm ... two collisions in a few weeks, both involving very large insurance claims ..... can you say "no one wants to insure me now?"
