Texas shipping news Figured it was a good idea to start this thread since there's a lot of shipping news that happens in Texas. So if any of y'all stumble on some notable shipping news, post it here. Here's one hot off the wire from yesterday:
(CNN) - The Coast Guard and other authorities were working Wednesday to prevent the spread of an oil spill from the collision of two ships 40 miles southeast of Galveston, Texas, the Coast Guard said.
One of the ships reported that about 18,000 gallons of fuel had been spilled. A Coast Guard team was on its way to confirm the report.
The leak was reported secured and there were no injuries, the Coast Guard said.
The 820-foot Liberian-flagged tanker Krymsk was stable after sustaining damage to a fuel tank when the 166-foot offshore supply vessel AET Endeavor collided with the vessel Tuesday, the Coast Guard said. The crew on the Krymsk was transferring fuel from the damaged tank to a separate undamaged tank.
Also working with the Coast Guard were the Texas General Land Office, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, O'Brien's Response Management and American Eagle Tankers.
