Oil barge ran aground
The US Coast Guard responded to the grounding of a barge in the Coney Island Channel near Brighton Beach, New York, in the morning of Aug 22, 2018. At approximately 9:00 a.m., the "Eastern Dawn" was pushing the barge "Port Chester" when it ran soft aground near Coney Island Channel Buoy 3. There were 14,000 barrels of fuel oil on board the barge. Personnel from the Coast Guard Station New York responded to ensure the safety of the barge and surrounding vessel traffic. Pollution response teams and investigation officials from Coast Guard Sector New York were also on scene to assess the incident and confirmed no fuel entered the water. The barge was able to refloat during high tide at approximately 2:30 p.m., and arrived at its destination in Jamaica, Queens, New York. Both vessels had to be inspected and cleared before operating again.
