New Orleans port officials have sued the owner of a tanker that slammed into a cruise ship on the Mississippi River. One aim of the lawsuit is to allow federal officials to gain control of the Atlantic Asphalt tanker. All 197 passengers and crew on the American Heritage cruise ship survived the crash Friday.

The Coast Guard says it could take weeks to remove it.
