PERTH AMBOY, N.J. (AP) -- Up to 30,700 gallons of heavy fuel oil spilled into a waterway off New York Harbor on Monday while the cargo was being transferred from a barge to a Chevron plant, authorities said.
The Coast Guard and spill-response companies set up booms to contain the oil, floating on the Arthur Kill between Perth Amboy and New York's Staten Island.
The oil escaped during a transfer of about 1.5 million gallons of oil from a barge, the Coast Guard said. The cause was under investigation.
