A story in the Narragansett Times yesterday explains that DEM has closed the harbor to both commercial and recreational use for a few days while they attempt to pump out the fuel in the boat. They expect to reopen it in a few days.
The Forager had about 3000 gallons aboard, but most of it has evaporated, according to the article. Clean Harbors of Braintree, Mass., is in charge of doing the pumping and cleanup. The boat will be raised later this week.
