The oil company was forced to evacuate all but two vessels on July 22 as Bonnie intensified over the Bahamas and was forecast to move west toward the spill site. Moving the ships delayed work at the site by seven to nine days, National Incident Commander Thad Allen said during a conference call with reporters yesterday. Allen ordered ships to return after the National Hurricane Center in Miami said yesterday that Bonnie had weakened to a “disorganized area” of low pressure.
