Bet the salvage bill will be a doozey.

Yep…. That salvage bill will be a doozy for sure.

In the early 1990s, I chartered a tug for some work on a bayou outside Port Arthur, TX. Charter cost for the tug (sized for ICW barge pushing duty) + 3 flat deck barges was about $10K a day wet. Wet means that this was the tug, crew and fuel based 24 hour/day operation. The only extra charge was an insurance surcharge because the bayou was a secondary channel and not a primary like the ICW.

Rain or shine, I was paying for the tug 24/7. Construction related crews got a rain day off so the tug was down as well. Zero work on Sunday.
