LISTEN: Missed Rock on Chart Causes $1.4M in Damages to Barge

  • Summary

  • A tugboat and barge, operating together as an articulated tug and barge (ATB), last year ran aground near Marmot Bay off the coast of Alaska. More specifically, the ATB hit a submerged rock while approaching the entrance to a cove, causing about $1.4 million in damages to the barge. The tugboat was fine, none of the six crewmembers aboard were hurt, and there was no pollution as a result of the accident. But there’s still a massive bill for repairing the barge.
