Federal officials intend to scrap the Bangun Perkasa, the high-seas driftnet vessel detained at Dutch Harbor since October.
They're seeking a contractor to "dismantle and dispose of the ship."
Marine surveyor Jack McFarland found the vessel to be old and poorly maintained. He put its value at $250,000.
See the contractor solicitation, the survey report and a bunch of photos here.
Just like the Feds to spend a couple million dollars to sell a one dollar boat! Hope they don't mind that their retirements get spent paying the bills.
ReplyDeleteInteresting that the vessel is valued at $250,000. I was walking by it this morning and a worker from the local salvage company said if I'd take it away it was mine.
ReplyDeleteSometimes salvage pays off.
ReplyDeleteSeriously Jack, $250k? Were there fresh paint fumes in there?
