After more than 13 years of legal proceedings, American Commercial Barge Line (ACBL) has been cleared of any fault related to the 2008 Mel Oliver collision and oil spill on the Mississippi River. The collision resulted in 250,000 gals, of fuel spilling into the Mississippi River at New Orleans, closing about 100 miles of the waterway for days. It was determined that DRD Towing of Harvey, La., was entirely at fault for the collision and resulting oil spill. DRD operated and crewed the towboat Mel Oliver, which was towing the ACBL-owned DM-932 barge at the time of the collision. |
