The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has issued its Marine Accident Report detailing the October 8, 2019, engineroom fire aboard the mv. Susan Lynn near Lafitte, La., along the Barataria Waterway. On the morning of the fire, the mv. Susan Lynn was moored at Tom's Marine & Salvage, when a fire started in the engine-room around 6 a.m. No injuries or pollution resulted from the fire, which caused more than $1.3 million in damages to the vessel. In September 2018, H&K Marine Services LLC purchased the Susan Lynn, which was built in 1963 at Marine Welding & Repair Works and originally named Rock Bluff. According to NTSB, the vessel had been towing barges on the Mississippi River and along the Gulf Intracoast-al Waterway (GIWW) for Four Rivers Towing since October 2018. The vessel arrived at Tom's Marine & Salvage on August 2, 2019, for a port propeller replacement job. According to NTSB, H&K Marine Services planned to return the vessel to service following a Coast Guard inspection at the shipyard. |
