Good salvage plan needed

A tug and barge have run aground on Ukolnoi Island, east of Cold Bay. The U.S. Coast Guard rescued the crew. The barge is laden with 90 refrigerated containers, 60 of which are empty with the other 30 holding nearly 1.5 million pounds of frozen seafood product. Deckboss hears unofficially that the product belongs to Trident Seafoods. The tug and barge were transiting from Sand Point to Dutch Harbor when they grounded at 9 p.m. Tuesday. Salvage plans are in the works. USCG photo

The skippers' name wouldn't happen to be Hazelwood, would it?

Damn it Joe!

Clean-up, isle 3!

Deckboss would be a good blog if you had to take some kind of IQ test prior to posting a comment.

It would get pretty quiet around here.

You wouldn't get in because you're to dense to recognize genuine humor. Lighten up Frances.

Why are we operating in weather conditions that other shippers have taken a proper risk analysis to avoid? The company should be fined severaly! Where is the spill response capabilities for this remote incident. How long is it going to take to salvage this loss and what are the true costs the public will have to pay to monitor the clean up and recovery?

So many questions, so few answers.
