After slamming into rogue iceberg, grounded Alaska ship leaking fuel
A tug and barge that went aground Wednesday in the Gulf of Alaska, 60 miles southeast of Cordova, is leaking an unknown amount of fuel, the U.S. Coast Guard released Thursday. The 77-foot-long Hook Point-Alaganik found trouble in rough waves and an especially high tide that led it to crash into ice that had floated into the gulf from Seal River. This impact broke the mechanical system holding the barge and tug together, before both were washed ashore. At the time it went ashore, the Hook Point-Alaganik, as the vessel is known, was reportedly filled with more than 2,000 gallons of diesel fuel, as well as 90 gallons of hydraulic oil and 30 gallons of gasoline. The Coast Guard has no estimate yet of how much spilled. http://www.alaskadispatch.com/article/20130725/after-slamming-rogue-iceberg-grounded-alaska-ship-leaking-fuel
