Planning Underway to Refloat Grounded American Cruise Lines River Ship

The U.S. Coastguard is leading plans to safely refloat the river cruise boat American Jazz, which grounded in Lake Barkley, near Canton, Kentucky on 08JUL. At the moment, the group leading the work is investigating different options for getting the vessel refloated with minimal damage to the hull or the environment. “American Cruise Lines is actively engaged in the re-float plan for the American Jazz and is working together with the Coast Guard as well as its own team of marine engineers and naval architects," said Alexa Paolella, public relations manager with American Cruise Lines. At the moment, no concrete plans to solve the issue have been announced.
