The vessel as soon as transported sugar, cotton and other cargo between Europe, the United States and South America, according to a declaration from the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, where the Hannah M.

BP Steadily Moving Beyond Gulf Spill Disaster | Redux

BP Steadily Moving Beyond Gulf Spill Disaster

Excerpt:

Or, looked at another way, it's less than the $5. 5 billion in profit the British oil giant made between June and September of this year. BP is not fully past the Deepwater Horizon disaster, the 2010 explosion that killed 11 workers and led to the largest oil spill in U.S. history. The company has so far set aside $42 billion to pay fines and damages resulting from the spill, and that amount may yet grow. But the company is steadily resolving the spill's legal issues and has nearly met its target for asset sales to help pay for the spill's costs. In the process, BP PLC has reshaped itself into a somewhat smaller company — but one that's still a large and profitable force in the oil industry. "The danger is not over," Christine Tiscareno an analyst at S&P Capital IQ in London.
