Crews are cleaning more than 400,000 gallons of oil from a closed stretch of the Mississippi River from New Orleans to the Gulf of Mexico.
Coast Guard Petty Officer Jaclyn Young says crews are using vacuum skimmers to pick up the oil that is being contained with booms.
The 419,000 of heavy fuel oil spilled from a barge when it collided into a tanker Wednesday.
Young says it could take a few days to open the river and weeks to clean the spill.
Authorities also are investigating why the tugboat towing the barge had no licensed pilot.
