Barge Berman Restoration
On January 7, 1994, the Morris J. Berman, a barge, loaded with 1.5 million gallons of no. 6 fuel oil, drifted aground near San Juan, Puerto Rico, after its tow line from the tug Emily S. broke. The barge grounded on a reef near Punta Escambron, which ruptured some of the holding tanks and released approximately 800,000 gallons of fuel oil into nearshore watersincluding those adjacent to the San Juan National Historic Site.
