Tug started taking on water
The US Coast Guard assisted the 'Captain Mark'and its four crew members, which was taking on water in the Intracoastal Waterway near Freeport, Texas, on April 17, 2022. Coast Guard Sector Houston-Galveston command center watchstanders received a phone call at 6:02 a.m. from the captain of the vessek stating it was taking on water near the Brazos River Flood Gates while pushing two equipment barges. Watchstanders issued an urgent marine information broadcast and launched a 29-foot Response Boat–Small crew from Station Freeport to assist. The RB–S crew arrived on scene and transferred personnel to the tugboat with a dewatering pump. Additionally, a good Samaritan aboard a nearby vessel arrived, passed over personnel and a pump, and assisted the Coast Guard crew in dewatering the tugboat. The captain planned to pass off the two barges; and a partner tug towed the 'Captain Mark' ashore to Dickinson Bayou.
