HONOLULU — Hawaii officials say salvage bids came in much higher than expected for a sunken fishing boat blocking a pier in Honolulu Harbor.
The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reports the 77-foot Judy K remains half-submerged as officials look for other ways to remove it from the side of Pier 16.
The fishing boat sank Jan. 11, spilling an estimated 150 gallons of diesel fuel into Honolulu Harbor.
State officials say the owner is apparently dead.
The boat vessel has been surrounded by a 150-foot containment boom and absorbent pads to capture spilled fuel.
The Judy K was built in 1979. The owner is listed as a company, Sapphire USA Inc.
State records indicate the company’s business registration has been expired since 1999.
