CBC News is reporting that the barge that the Bennington Group planned to use to scrap the MV Miner has broken free of the ship and is aground on Scatarie Island. Since Bennington  reportedly gave up and left months ago, one wonders why they left thier barge behind, when they knew winter storms were coming.

this barge is likely insured, so bennington groups insurance company will be resposnsible for its salvage.
