Sun oil cooperating, i hope sun oil bears the whole cost of cleaning up their mess. Someone fell asleep thats for sure.

We shall see. I noticed the statement on the afternoon news "*a company they **contracted** to ...*", SunOil may abdicate all responsibility, like Pinewood, and if that's a local company with no resources...

No doubt the very greedy and bullying Snake has already told Alfred Sears in no uncertain terms that Sun Oil's liability for anything to do with the oil ended when it was removed from Sun Oil's storage facility and loaded on board The Arabian for delivery to BPL's storage facility in Exuma.

In other words, BPL likely contracted the The Arabian vessel from a PLP crony, whomever that may be. And let's not forget that Snake is rumoured to be a big-time financial-backer of the PLP political machinery which means that one way or the other the poor taxpayers are likely to get stuck with the clean-up bill after all the back scratching between Davis and Snake is said and done, behind the scenes in private of course.

We in bad shape. what will it take for them to realize the tremendous risk they put us at with this kisses by favour economics?

What an unsightly mess!

Exactly who contracted this vessel named The Arabian "for Sun Oil" and who is the owner of the vessel?

Is The Arabian a vessel flagged (registered) in The Bahamas?

And it is unclear from this news story on which day the incident happened. The of time of day the incident happened is mentioned but not the actual day itself.

Did BPL acquire ownership of the oil at the time it was loaded on board The Arabian or was transfer of ownership of the oil intended to occur immediately after the oil was off-loaded to BPL's Exuma storage facility?

Was the spill caused by faulty or improperly handled equipment belonging to BPL or the vessel's owner? Was it caused by negligence on the part of BPL's personnel or the vessel's personnel?

Does the vessel's owner have in place adequate insurance coverage if it is found to have been responsible for the spill? What about BPL having adequate insurance coverage if it found to be responsible for the incident?

We can only hope The Tribune's editor/publisher ensures the public gets the answers it deserves to these and other important questions of national interest.

We will leave it for our short pudgy PM to tell us how many carbon credits we have lost because of this incident. LOL. Certainly can't be any more than we lose from each and every cruise ship we allow into our territorial waters.

2 birds, 1 goat

3 crabs and one conch

Snake would look us straight in the eyes while informing us with his forked tongue that the 3 crabs were eaten by a hungry flock of seagulls and the conch missing from its shell was used for shoreline fishing by a local boy.

1 hard head bird and no soup
