Approval requested for repairs to icebreaker in Shell’s Arctic quest
By Jennifer A. Dlouhy: 9 July 2015
WASHINGTON – Shell is making plans to repair an icebreaker that plays a pivotal role in its Arctic drilling program, even as clues emerged Thursday about what might have torn a meter-long gash in the vessel.
Arctia Offshore, the owner of the Shell-contracted MSV Fennica, has asked the U.S. Coast Guard to approve plans for sealing the hole in the ship’s hull. As of late Thursday, a final ruling had not been made.
But there was new information on what might have gouged the vessel as it traveled away from the Alaska port of Dutch Harbor on July 3.
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
