EAGLE 9449493

The captain of the STX Daisy was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Tacoma to 14 days in prison, and 6 months of supervised release, during which time he is not allowed to sail in United States waters. He was arrested April 14, 2010, after a Coast Guard inspection crew found him drunk while in command of the 590 foot vessel in the Straits of Juan de Fuca. At trial earlier this month, the evidence revealed that captain’s blood alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit.

The Coast Guard of Puget Sound, Wash., has issued an order requiring the cargo vessel "STX Daisy" to remain at anchor in Port Angeles, Wash., on Apr 14, 2010. The Coast Guard conducted a routine boarding of the vessel in the Strait of Juan de Fuca in the early morning and found that the vessel’s master showed signs of intoxication. The "STX Daisy" was en route Olympia, Wash., from Qingdao, China, to load timber. The U. S. Attorney’s office is investigating the incident for evidence of a possible violation of U. S. law.
