Supertanker safety bill heads to Maine House debate
Kennebunk sponsor James McMahon pushes LD 900 to require double bottom construction on supertankers entering Maine waters and harbors within three miles. The measure would also mandate segregated ballast tanks and IMCO compliant inerting systems to reduce spill risk, backed by Marine Resources committee 9–4. Opposition from oil interests cited, while supporters cite environmental and future port safety.
