“It is expected to be in the port over the weekend.“ Luke Pinneo. chief petty officer at the U.S. Coast Guard in Boston. said in a telephone interview.
The delay in bringing the ship into the harbor “is not unusual.’’ according to Pinneo. Inspections can take as long as three days. depending on the time line for getting a Coast Guard boat with a boarding team to it and the specific safety concerns being addressed. he said.
Guiding an LNG tanker in is a multi-agency effort with federally mandated protocols. Pinneo said.
