The U.S. Coast Guard and the Canadian government began investigations to examine these questions, and also the design and seaworthiness of the rig.

U.S. Steel last week seemed assured of victory in its takeover bid, estimated to cost $6.15 billion, the second largest corporate coupling in U.S. history. (The largest merger was the $7.5 billion merger of Conoco and Du Pont in 1981.)
