I'm not sure I like seeing that tank farm right nearby. Any word on what's in those big shoreside tanks?

Probably sulfuric acid.

No Idea and I've not read anything that gives any indications.... The two smaller white tanks in the center/top of the picture appear to be empty or at least not completely full as their tops are down inside the tank wall... The large one next to the crane, who knows.....

My guess is those tanks near the capsized barge have been promptly emptied as a safety measure. They definitely do NOT want a repeat of what happened in 1947.

Mind you, what happened in 1947 was already a disaster waiting to happen. The problem was that the ship loaded with ammonium nitrate exploded literally right next to a petrochemical processing facility, and the nearby petroleum products igniting from the initial explosion added to that horrible disaster.
