The Coast Guard said it has completed safety inspections and finished collecting evidence.

The tanker has to be repaired before it can carry oil again.

On Thursday the Harbor Safety Committee agreed to study a new safety plan to limit the number of vessels around the bay bridge when visibility is low.
