Thats insane. At first I was wondering why there were ships in downtown until I google mapped it and i never realized that the ship channel ran that far into Houston. I followed one creek (bayou in Houston) that feeds into the channel all the way to 8 and 290

I'm not sure if they had one last week or not. It obviously wasn't this big. This will probably be upwards of $1M easily. Hate it for anyone.

Isn't this becoming a common occurrence for that channel?
This is like the 4th one in 5yrs.
There was a pretty big one in early 2010 before BP explosion I believe.

Probably not a happy day at the pollution underwriter's office.

They have 80 ships pass through this part of the channel everyday so it is a high traffic area. Spills in general are a lot more common than the general public knows. It is just a matter of the magnitude. Not to mention media has had a fascination since deepwater

yes it was
quote:
March 14, 2014: A Kirby-owned barge loaded with hundreds of thousands of gallons of fuel oil collides with a rice-filled cargo ship. The company said its tow was affected by the wake of a third party ship operating at excessive speed in a critical navigation zone. No pollution was released and no one was injured. The incident is still under investigation.

Kirby wishes it was. They are "self-insured"
What do they self insure? They have a lot of risk.

I was mistaken. Possibly just heard about Responsible Party

It will just go to the super fund

They can make claims that go in excess of coverage or 20mil, but they will still be on hook for much of it

word.
thats crazy shite.
I would think that Kirby would have some some of insurance for this. Probably self insured equipment damages and personal but separate coverage for environmental liability (pollution)?
