Coast Guard officials say a container
vessel is no longer leaking fuel oil and has departed a terminal in New Jersey
for repairs in New York.
The container vessel, YM Mandate, was
found to be leaking oil from a crack in the hull last week at the Global
Container Terminal in Bayonne.
Officials said Wednesday that oil was
being pumped from the affected tank to a barge and a containment boom,
absorbent pads and skimming vessels were being used to clean up the spill.
The Coast Guard said Sunday a dive
survey found no additional damage, and the vessel departed Saturday for repairs
in New York.
