New dredge to monitor sand movements in Atlantic Ocean

By Staff Writers

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – The United States, Britain and France are sending ships and aircraft into waters off the British and French coasts, as they monitor possible oil spills from a possible oil platform off Antarctica.

The United States Navy said two ships, the USS Ponce and the USS Peleliu, and a destroyer from the British government’s Royal Navy are joining a convoy that includes 10 vessels to help search for the rig in what it calls the area of highest potential danger.

“This is a very large area of ocean on a very high ocean, and we hope we can find the oil,” Rear Admiral Mark Subobia, head of the U.S. Northern Command, told a news conference in San Francisco.

At least 16 ships have moved so far, including 18 aircraft flying at least six missions of a joint search for oil from the site.

The United States and five other countries including Japan are helping the U.N. Special Commission on Antarctic Reclamation, which has requested assistance.

“If we do find the platform, we will send in a rescue ship, and the people who live around that area, and the people who live downstream, will probably gospelhitzbe evacuating for their own safety,” Subobia said.

Subobia said바카라 he hoped to get the operation underway by the end of the year and hoped to make further progress by next month.

The European Union and Brazil sent aid in support of the search, according to Subobia.

The world’s biggest oil exploration boom has brought a steady stream of oil and gas to northern Europe since 2008, but many experts doubt the platforms can ever be fully operational.

Some oil platforms are found offshore to extract sand, while others are found off the Antarctic coast to extract precious minerals.

French and British intelligence suggest as many as 14 large oil platforms, some as much as 1,000 meters (4,000 feet) deep, may exist off the northern coast of Antarctica, said a senior U.S. U.S. intelligence official.

Subobia said U.S. surveillance ships and a Japanese destroyer are conducting field exercises in the area.

U.S. authorities said on Tuesday that they had identified some of the platforms and would be able to deploy forces to help in the early stage더킹카지노s of the search.

Subobia said on Tuesday there would be a rapid response force when they becam
