MACKINAW CITY, Mich. — The Unified Command continues to deploy a remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV) to better assess damage to the affected American Transmission Company utility cables in the Straits of Mackinac, Sunday.
ATC contracted with Durocher Marine and T&T Subsea to provide tugs, a barge, and an ROV to assess the damage to the utility cables.
The ROV is obtaining underwater, visual imagery of the cables, and the images obtained will provide the Unified Command with the information needed to determine how best to deal with the damaged cables.
Under the oversight of the Unified Command, the American Transmission Company continues to extract mineral oil from two damaged cables in the Straits of Mackinac.
