BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

March 28, 2016 Reprints

The container ship TS Taipei that grounded off Taiwan on March 10 has split into two and spilled fuel, reported Maritime News.

The vessel was damaged due to the storm and the hull cracked, spilling sufficient quantity of oil from ruptured bunker tanks.

TS Taipei is at risk of capsizing, which can cause additional pollution from spillage of more heavy fuel and hazardous chemicals from the containers on board.

T.S. Lines Ltd. is the operator of TS Taipei.
