UK-Flagged Bulk Carrier Grounds at Mile Marker 3.5 of Lower Mississippi River
A UK-flagged mass service provider ran swamped Friday in the Lower Mississippi River near New Orleans.
The U.S Coast Guard stated it got a record at 8:32 in the early morning that the 837-foot deep-draft vessel Anglo Alexandria had actually based in the Mississippi River at mile pen 3.5.
The vessel is obstructing the navigating network, which has actually led to the closure of the river at mile pen 3.5. A pull is on-scene.
The Coast Guard stated there mored than 50 vessels waiting in line to transportation in or out of the river, including that the number is bigger than typical as a result of thick haze in the location over the last couple of days. The vessel has actually triggered their Vessel Response Plan.
There are no existing records of air pollution or injuries.
The root cause of the case is under examination.
AIS ship monitoring information revealed the vessel as being outbound with a location of Suez.
