Kulluk Drill Rig Runs Aground in Alaska
Shell’s drill rig, the Kulluk, runs aground after being towed from the Arctic back to Dutch Harbour in Alaska, USA. Days of effort trying to guide the mobile offshore drilling rig through stormy Alaska seas hit a crisis on 31 Dec, when crew members were forced to disconnect the rig from its last remaining tow line and the vessel went aground on a small island south of Kodiak.
