Freighter spills fuel oil in New York harbor
A freighter spilled some 60,000 gallons of heavy fuel oil in New York Harbor Tuesday, and some oil had reached the beach off Coney Island, the U.S. Coast Guard said. The 653-foot bulk freighter Brussel, registered in Cyprus, reported that a line ruptured between the freighter and the tank barge Newark Bay during refueling off northern Staten Island, said Coast Guard spokesman Petty Officer Mike Lutz.
