Tanker Carrying Bakken Crude to Canadian Refinery Runs Aground - Bloomberg

Tanker Carrying Bakken Crude to Canadian Refinery Runs Aground - Bloomberg: The first oil tanker carrying Bakken
crude to Irving Oil Corp.’s refinery in Canada from Albany, New
York, ran aground yesterday in the Hudson River, delaying the
first of what is expected to be many voyages on the route.
No oil spilled from the Stena Primorsk, which was loaded
with about 11.7 million gallons (279,000 barrels) of crude, said
Petty Officer 2nd Class Erik Swanson, a spokesman for the U.S.
Coast Guard, updating an earlier estimate of 6 million gallons.
The accident occurred about 10 miles south of Albany at about 7
a.m., Swanson said yesterday.
