Stewart and tank barge DBL 55 Seaforth Channel, 10 nm west of Bella Bella, British Columbia 13 October 2016 Summary On 13 October 2016, shortly after 0100 Pacific Daylight Time, the articulated tug-barge composed of the tug Nathan E. Stewart and the tank barge DBL 55 went aground on Edge Reef near Athlone Island, at the entrance to Seaforth Channel, approximately 10 nautical miles west of Bella Bella, British Columbia. The tug’s hull was eventually breached and approximately 110 000 L of diesel oil were released into the environment. The tug subsequently sank and separated from the barge. The tug was removed from the environment 33 days after the occurrence. Seven 208 L drums of diesel oil–soiled absorbent pads were collected from the site.

  • 165 Intussen Wegen We De Spullen Die We Mee Naar Huis Willen Nemen
    Intussen wegen we de spullen die we mee naar huis willen nemen, brengen de boot naar GIBSONS, de winterstal van Polka. Een laagje ijs knerpt tegen de boot en de meeuwen schaatsen over het ijs om wat brood van Willem op te pikken, ze schuiven vaak met veel gang de boot voorbij. De laatste nacht slapen we bij de familie van Rijn waar we met een heerlijke taart onze 30 jarige trouwdag vieren. De volgende dag brengt Arie ons naar het vliegveld: "Here you go, beye now". ========= 11-16 apr.1986. Na een heel fijne tijd in Nederland en een leuk weekje in Londen om wat onderdelen op te halen, haalt Arie ons op en de volgende dag gaan we per bus-ferrie-bus naar GIBBON waar Polka, onze "Home away from home", geduldig op ons ligt te wachten. Ze verkeert in prima staat, kurkdroog. Zoals het goede Nederlanders betaamt, beginnen we met de schoonmaak. De radar brengen we weg voor reparatie, het kost ons 4 uren om met diverse bussen, ferry en het laatste stukje zelfs met een taxi, om de juiste firma te vinden, die ergens in de weilanden aan de buitenkant van het vliegveld zit. Dan besluiten we om de treadmaster platen van het dek te halen, ze hebben nogal geleden van de tropenzon en nu van opvriezend water waardoor ze beginnen los te laten. Na drie dagen hard werk hebben we ze er met bloedende vingers afgestoken en het dek glad en glimmend afgeslepen, nu hoeft het alleen nog maar geschilderd te worden. Zoals altijd voor een vertrek doen we boodschappen, hoeveel, dat weet je nooit, misschien wel voor 14 dagen in eenzame baaitjes zonder winkel, of voor maar twee dagen? 17 t/m 22 april.1986.
