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 photoThursday, November 15, 2012

The skippers' name wouldn't happen to be Hazelwood, would it?
ReplyDeleteDamn it Joe!
Clean-up, isle 3!
I think I see Dan M., standing on the beach already!
ReplyDeleteDeckboss would be a good blog if you had to take some kind of IQ test prior to posting a comment.
ReplyDeleteIt would get pretty quiet around here.
ReplyDeleteYou wouldn't get in because you're to dense to recognize genuine humor. Lighten up Frances.
ReplyDeletePlease give us another Exxon and this time i promise not to piss it away.
ReplyDeleteWhy 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?
ReplyDeleteSo many questions, so few answers.
