   1. Early Friday evening, a 240' crude oil barge collided with a barge carrying Propylene. The collision occurred at Mile 115 on the Intra- Coastal Waterway, approximately 3 miles west of the Route 317 Bridge. The barge was carrying 18,000 barrels of crude oil (API 47) at the time of the incident. Approximately 13,000 gallons were reportedly spilled. The U.S. Coast Guard reported that lightering operations were conducted on the cargo tank which was holed, but some oil is still leaking from the barge. The last reported position of the oil was approximately 2 to 2.5 miles west of Mile 115. SSC Plans: NOAA SSC Mike Barnhill was notified by the USCG Captain of the Port, MSO Morgan City, Louisiana, who requested NOAA support on-scene. He is enroute at this time, and will be on-site this evening (15 May). NOAA Personnel On-Scene: Mike Barnhill (PIN # 5798819) (arrives Friday evening) Barry [...]

   M/V Durdy Dudley, and Pat Salvaggio, collision; Morgan City, Louisiana.
   Morgan City, Louisiana.
   1. On May 15, 1992, the motor vessel Durdy Dudley, towing a 240-foot barge carrying 18,000 gallons of crude oil condensate, collided with the motor vessel Pat Salvaggio, towing a barge carrying propylene. The accident occurred at mile marker 115 of the Intracoastal Waterway west of Morgan City, Louisiana. The two vessels were traveling in opposite directions when they collided. The crude oil barge was damaged and lost approximately 13,000 gallons of its cargo. The propylene barge was also damaged but did not lose any product. Initially, booms were placed around the barge to contain the still-leaking product. Because of the explosion hazard posed by the very light condensate, these booms were removed shortly after deployment to allow the product to disperse downstream. USCG district 8. Keyword: none.
