| 摘要： | The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has released its Marine Accident Brief detailing a September 8, 2019, incident involving the mv. Savage Voyager and a pair of tank barges as the tow transited the Jamie Whitten Lock & Dam on the Tennessee-Tom-bigbee Waterway. The Savage Voyager was locking through just before 4 a.m. that morning. As the water level dropped within the lock chamber, which offers a whopping 84-foot maximum lift, the bow of barge PBL 3422 came to rest on the lock's upper gate sill. As the water level continued to drop, the weight and stress on the barge caused a hull failure and cargo tank breach. "About 117,030 gallons (2,786 barrels) of crude oil were released into the lock," according to the NTSB report. "No injuries were reported. The damaged barge cost $402,294 to repair, and costs to return the lock to service 18 days later were about $4 million." |
