Tankskibs kollision lukker fire havne

Lørdagens kollision mellem det 95.700DWT store tankskib Eagle Otome og en pram i Sabine River ved Port Arthur, Texas, lukker nu på fjerde døgn fire havne i Texas - Port Arthur, Port Neches, Beaumont, og Orange.

Kollisionen skete tidlig mandag morgen, da det tankskibet 246 meter lange tanksib Eagle Otome - af endnu ukendte årsdag - ramte en af to pramme der var under bugsering i den smalle flod. Ved sammenstødet fik tankskibet slået hul på en tank, hvor der menes at være strømmet op med 1.500 tons råolie ud i floden.

Ingen personer meldes at være kommet til skade ved kollisionen, men store mængder materiel og mandskab er sat ind i kampen for at indsamle og bekæmpe den tabte olie.

Eagle Otome er et dobbeltskroget tankskib, der ejes af gruppen Tankskibe Holdings, Malaysia.

Tankeskibet var på vej med en last af råolie til Exxon Mobil raffinaderiet i Beaumont, Texas.

Sabine River er en 100 km kanal, der løber fra Beaumont, Texas, til den Mexicanske Golf. Ved floden ligger fire meget store raffinaderier, der tilsammen råder over 6,5 procebt af USA's samlede raffineringskapacitet.
