Where is the Exxon Valdez?

Question

Has it been scraped? Does it still haul oil?

Answer 1

After the spill, the Exxon Valdez was towed to San Diego, arriving on June 10, 1989, and repairs began onboard on June 30, 1989. Approximately 1,600 tons of steel were removed and replaced in the month of July 1989, totaling $30 million of repairs to the tanker.

After being repaired, the Valdez was renamed the "Sea River Mediterranean," later shortened to "S/R Mediterranean," then to simply "Mediterranean" and sails under the Marshall Islands flag. Although Exxon tried to return the ship to its Cuba fleet, it was prohibited by law from entering Prince William Sound.[
