Federal Agency Dings Shell for Oil Rig Mishap in Arctic
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — May 28, 2015: By DAN JOLING Associated Press
As Royal Dutch Shell PLC seeks permits for exploratory oil drilling off Alaska’s northwest coast, a federal agency has concluded the company underestimated risk the last time it moved drill rigs to Arctic waters.
A National Transportation Safety Board report issued Thursday said the probable cause of the grounding of the company’s mobile drilling vessel, the Kulluk, in 2012 was “Shell’s inadequate assessment of the risk for its planned tow” across the Gulf of Alaska.
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
