Heard on the news they were hoping to have it cleaned up by the end of May. Wow. Incoming freight going to be a nightmare.

#1 port for import vehicles..... well was.

Also the nation's "karens" will have a meltdown then their tumi shipments are late.

Tugs could have pushed it, turned or stopped it. Those things are powerful, like water muscle cars. Here's one plowing thru +4 feet of ice. Got better pix just can't find em. View attachment 280744

Most of the time it's just pushing with the padded bow, old tires, cut and strapped on.

Good or bad, sailors have more responsibility and liability with all this "training". We had a ship a few months ago that had a uscg inspection while in pensacola. The chief engineer logged that he pumped bilge water at the dock in pensacola. My guess is the oily water separator had failed and the capn didnt get it fixed. They hauled them off in cuffs and detained the ship. Had to fly in a new crew after the owners paid some hefty fines. And the ship is banned from returning to US ports.

Insurance/ship owner gonna pay (at least some) for the bridge. Is this gonna impact the Skansa ruling about damage to the 3 Mile Bridge and the lawsuits by local businesses?

Yep, they hammer VGP into us on my ship. Just did more training about 3 weeks ago.
