Leaking boom in Albany


There is a discharge at the Mobil terminal at Albany where there is a permanently rigged oil boom - they must have a leak problem. Recently a new boom and oil absorb were deployed but it looks like someone forgot the tide. We often see this; a boom is rigged which doesn't stand a chance of doing any good. I can hear it now, "but we made every effort, we rigged a boom." RvK is contacting the terminal.
