Salvors ready Shell drill ship for tow attempt
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Spokesmen for Royal Dutch Shell PLC and the Coast Guard say naval architects have pronounced the oil company's drill ship sound and they're preparing for an attempt to pull it off rocks near a remote Alaska island.
Shell incident commander Sean Churchfield says the Kulluk will be moved "as soon as we are ready and able."
The Kulluk ran aground New Year's Eve after breaking loose from its main tow vessel.
