Grounded tanker oil spill near Georges Bank prompts costly cleanup
The Argo Merchant ran aground near Nantucket spilling heavy fuel oil. Coast Guard mobilized a 6 million gallon containment plan, heating oil for pumping, and a planned transfer to barges. Weather risks and potential bottom contamination worry officials as a month long operation unfolds. Coast Guard wields radar, lights, and a strike force to control leakage and protect Georges Bank fishing grounds. A separate burglary report notes a theft of jewelry and a television valued at $450 from a Long Beach home.
