PII’s barge, loaded with tons of construction equipment from a road paving project in Chuuk, ran into trouble in heavy seas between Chuuk and Pohnpei earlier this week. Daniel Kramer, who is coordinating the rescue, said Monday a PII crew was able to stabilize the vessel, preventing it from sinking with all pumps pumping out water. The vessel is now in Pohnpei undergoing repairs before it continues the voyage back to Majuro. “I’m amazed at the job Daniel did to save the vessel,” said his father and PII CEO Jerry Kramer.
