Oliepram næsten skåret over i kollision

En pram fyldt med benzinprodukter forliste og en anden blev næsten skåret over i en kollision med et gastankskib fra K Line på Houston Skibs Kanalen. Der er ikke konstateret udslip fra den forliste pram, mens omkring 9.000 tønder benzinprodukter er lækket fra den anden.

Den travle skibskanal, der fører ind til Houston, Texas, måtte lukkes efter en kollission fredag mellem det 230 meter lange gastankskib, Genesis River, og to pramme fyldt med benzin produkter. Kollisionen skete få sømil fra terminalen i Bayport og udslippet fra den ene pram kunne lugtes i kilometers omkreds.

Årsagen til kollisionen kender endnu ikke. “Vi fortsætter vores arbejde med kystvagten og andre føderale myndigheder for at fastslå årsagen til hændelsen og vil arbejde på at afbøde påvirkningen af udslippet på miljøet,” siger direktøren for Kirby Inland Marine, der opererede den slæbebåd, der skubbede de to pramme.

Selskabet har udlagt flydespærringer for at inddæmme udslippet bedst muligt.
