跟进：密西西比河恢复通航、新奥尔良游船上197人全部确认，港方起诉油轮方索赔逾百万美元
美国海岸警卫队11月14日通报，密西西比河下段在路易斯安那州新奥尔良市的事发河段已经恢复通航，倾覆游船「美国遗产号」周边保留500英尺安全区；新奥尔良港更正后的清点结果显示，事发时船上共有197名乘客与船员，全部确认、无人失踪、无人死亡。
海岸警卫队周六上午先以单向通航方式重开95.5至96.5英里标之间河段，新月城连接桥的备用桥面一度封闭；到周六下午，海岸警卫队发言人 Rachel Ault 表示，密西西比河已经对所有船舶开放通行，安全区继续保留在倾覆的「美国遗产号」周边，事故原因仍在调查中。肇事油轮「大西洋沥青号」已经驶离碰撞现场。海岸警卫队上校 Melanie Burnham 此前表示，油轮事发时似乎出现某种转向失灵，具体原因尚不清楚。
新奥尔良港周五晚间更正人数口径：事发时船上共有197名乘客与船员，此前公布的129人是乘客人数。港务警察局长 Melanie Montro 周六说，游船倾覆前有80多人被疏散上岸，约100人落入河中，随后被救援人员与附近船只陆续救起。32名伤者送院治疗，均无生命危险。
打捞方面，Burnham 说，救援人员正准备先抽走「美国遗产号」上的约1.6万加仑燃油，再展开打捞作业。新奥尔良市长 Helena Moreno 表示，把倾覆游船移走预计要以周计，不是几天能完成。
美国国家运输安全委员会（NTSB）周五晚间表示，受当天全国航班停飞影响，调查组改走陆路前往新奥尔良，不派委员会成员赴现场，也不计划举行媒体吹风会。Moreno 周六说，部分NTSB调查人员已经抵达新奥尔良，其余人员预计周六晚些时候抵达。
法律程序已经展开。新奥尔良港管理委员会周五晚间向路易斯安那东区联邦法院起诉「大西洋沥青号」油轮、在利比里亚注册的船东 Nave Shipping SA 与新加坡管理公司 Thome Ship Management，指控碰撞源于油轮方的疏忽与重大过失。诉状称，游船停靠的 Thalia Street 码头损毁严重，实物损失目前估计超过100万美元，另有清理、勘查、维修、更换与打捞等费用待计，港方对油轮享有海事留置权。联邦法官 Wendy Vitter 周五已批准港方请求，发出授权美国法警扣押「大西洋沥青号」的令状。

Follow-Up: Mississippi River Reopens After New Orleans Collision; All 197 Aboard the American Heritage Accounted For as Port Sues Tanker Interests for Over $1 Million
The U.S. Coast Guard said on Saturday, November 14, that the stretch of the lower Mississippi River at New Orleans, Louisiana, where a tanker struck a docked riverboat has reopened to traffic, with a 500-foot safety zone remaining around the capsized riverboat American Heritage. The Port of New Orleans said a corrected count shows 197 passengers and crew members were aboard, all of them accounted for, with no one missing and no deaths.
The Coast Guard first reopened the stretch between mile markers 95.5 and 96.5 to one-way traffic on Saturday morning, with the alternate span of the Crescent City Connection Bridge closed. By Saturday afternoon, Coast Guard public affairs officer Rachel Ault said the Mississippi River was open to all traffic, with the safety zone still in effect around the American Heritage and the cause of the collision still under investigation. The tanker Atlantic Asphalt has been moved from the collision site. Coast Guard Capt. Melanie Burnham has said the tanker appeared to suffer some type of loss of steering, though the exact reason remains unknown.
The Port of New Orleans corrected its count on Friday evening: 197 passengers and crew members were aboard in total, while the 129 figure released earlier referred to passengers only. Harbor Police Chief Melanie Montro said Saturday that more than 80 people were evacuated before the riverboat overturned, while roughly 100 people ended up in the river and were pulled out by responders and nearby vessels. Thirty-two people were taken to hospitals, none with critical injuries.
On salvage, Burnham said crews are preparing to remove about 16,000 gallons of fuel from the American Heritage before salvage operations begin. New Orleans Mayor Helena Moreno said removing the capsized riverboat is expected to take weeks, not days.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said Friday evening that, because of that day's nationwide flight ground stop, its investigators would travel to New Orleans by ground instead, that no board member would go to the scene, and that no media briefings were planned. Moreno said Saturday that some NTSB investigators had arrived in New Orleans, with the rest expected later Saturday.
Legal action has begun. The Board of Commissioners of the Port of New Orleans sued the tanker Atlantic Asphalt, its Liberia-registered owner Nave Shipping SA and its Singapore-based manager Thome Ship Management Pte Ltd in federal court in the Eastern District of Louisiana on Friday evening, alleging the collision resulted from the tanker's negligence and gross negligence. The complaint says the Thalia Street Terminal, where the riverboat was docked, was significantly damaged, with physical damage currently estimated to exceed $1 million, plus cleanup, survey, repair, replacement and salvage costs, and asserts a maritime lien against the tanker. U.S. District Judge Wendy Vitter on Friday approved the port's request and issued a warrant authorizing U.S. Marshals to seize the Atlantic Asphalt.
