U.S. Coast Guard encounters Russian naval vessel near Aleutian Islands

The 'Alex Haley' located a Russian Federation Vishnya-class naval vessel on Aug 6, 2024, south of the Aleutian Islands, Alaska, while patrolling 30 nautical miles southeast of Amukta Pass, Alaska. The Russian vessel was transiting in international waters but inside the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone, which extends 200 nautical miles from the U.S. shoreline. The 'Alex Haley' did not communicate with the Russian vessel. The Coast Guard cutter followed the vessel as it transited east. An HC-130 air crew from Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak also observed the vessel. The Coast Guard Cutter patrolled under Operation Frontier Sentinel, a Coast Guard operation designed to meet presence with presence when strategic competitors operate in and around U.S. waters. The U.S Coast Guard’s presence strengthens the international rules-based order and promotes the conduct of operations in a manner that follows international law and norms.

Kulluk response continuing

While the "Alex Haley" continues ist patrol around the grounded "Kulluk", the Unified Command has developed and approved a recovery plan after a series of inspections aboard the rig which continues to remain upright, fuel tanks appeared to be intact, and there was no threat to the stability of the vessel. Also, naval architects have confirmed the structural strength of the vessel was sound and fit to tow. Salvage teams on Jan 5 were aboard the vessel and preparing for the recovery operations. Safety remains the number one priority and will drive all facets of the operation. The exact timing of a potential towing activity is dependent on weather, tides and operational readiness. Once Unified Command confirms that the operation is safe and ready to move forward, the recovery operation will begin. The current plan calls for the "Kulluk" to be towed to Kiliuda Bay for safe harbor – a tow of approximately 30 miles. When the "Kulluk" arrives in Kiliuda Bay, a more detailed assessment will take place. Visit www.KullukResponse.com for more information
