Last Saturday night I heard a ships whistle blowing a distress signal, I knew something had happened, but did not follow-up as there was no other commotion like sirens or helicopters circling.
Sunday morning I got the details. A tug, Peter F Gelately, docking a barge at IMTT (International Matrix Tank Terminal) was caught in a strong current and crashed into a pier causing damage and a small oil spill in the KVK.
Also this week, my first photos of Kirby Moran at work, with a couple of container ships.
There’s a Working Harbor Committee Port Newark/Newark Bay Hidden Harbor® Tour next Thursday, August 13 from 6pm – 8pm, tickets still available…
Hope to see you there!
