A crane has capsized on a barge in Milford Sound. The crane fell on its side at Freshwater Basin this afternoon, leaving the body of it on the barge and part of the boom resting on a pile. There's understood to be 200 litres of diesel and 24 litres of engine oil in the crane, and 1,600 litres of hydraulic oil in a power pack on the barge. Environment Southland is putting measures in place to deal with a potential oil spill. Booms have been set out around the barge and more equipment and manpower has been sent from Bluff and Invercargill. Photo: Milford Sound (Getty Images) |
