OPERATORS of a massive barge that ran aground on the West Australian coastline say they will concentrate on securing the vessel before investigating why it was allowed to sail in a massive storm.
The 90-metre barge, loaded with 1800 tonnes of construction equipment including heavy vehicles, aerosol paint cans, 1000 litres of diesel and 1000 litres of hydraulic fluid, ran aground 3km northwest of the Cervantes town jetty.
Operated by Perth-based Offshore Marine Services Alliance, the company said they had not confirmed who had authorised the ship to sail as a brutal storm battered WA yesterday and last night.
The company said they would be investigating the circumstances in the coming days.
The WA Department of Transport's Oil Spill Response Co-ordination unit is monitoring the barge, which was under contract to oil and gas giant Chevron.
The barge was en route to Barrow Island from Perth when its tug's main tow line broke last night, the department said.
An emergency connection was established in the wild weather conditions and a tow back to shore was started.
The new connection broke early this morning and the barge ran aground.
