Bulker arrested after major accident in Louisiana

摘要

A Greek bulker that broke free of its moorings on the Mississippi River in Louisiana has been arrested by US marshals. The Bariba Group-owned, 81,434 dwt bulker Privocean was arrested on 13 April after it damaged a tanker, towing vessels, and an oil dock. Authorities are now seeking about USD40 million in damages. About USD 10 million is being sought for repairing the Geden Lines-owned, 116,014 dwt tanker Bravo, which Privocean hit on 6 April after breaking free of its moorings and crossing the river.
