Servicios Petroleros del Caribe S.A. workers labored yesterday until 1 am yesterday extracting fuel from the barge that is jammed along the Malecón sea front facing the Banco Agrícola. The fuel is being sent to Cambelén, in San Cristóbal province and is expected to be used as asphalt preparation for repaving of roads. The Navy is supervising the delicate operation of removing the petroleum. The District Attorney gave the owners of the ship 15 days to remove it from where it is located. The ship ran aground during Hurricane Georges last September.
