Prayers for the guys hurt or killed in the Dredging Barge accident in the ship channell.. That company was originally Kingfisher Marine and I have been to their yard in Indianola Beach and most of the employees lived in Port Lavaca. Orion bought them out about 1998. Where did you hear this?

It was Orion Marine who purchased Kingfisher Marine. Two of the four have been recovered.

Just read the new article. Hope the missing are found safe. This type of thing was not part of what I miss from my days in the CG.

Unfortunately two of the missing were found this morning 2 AM and 10:45 AM Both were deceased. Two still missing. I am working the site for spill response. Headed back there shortly. The dredging barge reflashed last night, then fell apart and sank. Approximately 6,000 gallons of Red Dyed Diesel on the barge.

Kingfisher Marine had been in business for over 60 years and sold the company. They did dredging jobs along the Texas and Louisiana border and real nice people. They had a lot of dredging machines. They hit a pipeline and there are a number of them crossing the ship channel. I have worked on a number of them and they come across from East White point and cross the ship channel going to the tank storage. They know where they are and someone is in a lot of trouble.
