Barge Sinks

Barge Sinks

October 15, 2011 Paul Hancock

Reports state a barge atop with a 5-ton crane sank in Gig Harbor, Washington.   Some diesel fuel escaped from the crane’s 25 gallon tank releasing some pollution around the sunken barge.   The company deployed a boom and used absorbent pads to contain the spill.  No reports of injuries.  The cause of the barge sinking was not released.
