Canadian Miner

[Guest]

Among other things, there isn't enough work to justify the expense.

I understand (mainly from the postings under "Scrap") that the Canadian Miner is in long-term lay-up, and may be scrapped, due to her engines. Her hull is OK, but her Fairbanks Morse engines burn expensive No. 2 diesel, and due to that, she is too expensive to run. Why doesn't ULS replace her engines (or entire stern) with that from one of their laid-up boats that burns the cheaper heavy oil?
