Washington, Shawwal 17, 1435, Aug 13, 2014, SPA -- The U.S. Coast Guard said it restricted traffic to one way near the International Matex Tank Terminals in Gretna, Louisiana, on the lower Mississippi River early Wednesday following a multi-vessel collision. One vessel lost control on the river Tuesday evening and collided with another vessel and a barge, both of which were moored at the terminal for transfer operations, the Coast Guard said. Fuel oil was being transferred from the barge when it became unmoored, and some oil was spilled into the river from a transfer hose, which was immediately shut after the accident, the Coast Guard said. --SPA 18:15 LOCAL TIME 15:15 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
