During the 2004 Thanksgiving weekend, a single-hulled tanker I was preparing to
dock at a refinery just outside Philadelphia. As it approached, it struck a large anchor
submerged in the Delaware River.
The Solution: Witt O'Brien's immediately responded on behalf of the tanker owner and were on site within
two hours. We assumed the role of incident commander, leading a unified command
that included representatives from the U.S. Coast Guard, the State of Delaware, the
State of New Jersey and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania..
