Warrior Rock, Columbia River, near Portland, Oregon.
1. The Tank Vessel Mobiloil, while en route from Ferndale, Washington to Portland, Oregon, suffered a steering failure at 0005 on March 19, 1984 which resulted in the grounding of the vessel near Warrior Rock in the Columbia River approximately 10 miles downstream from Portland, Oregon. Punctures and gashes ruptured the number 1-5 starboard cargo tanks releasing 3,925 barrels of heavy residual oil, industrial fuel oil, and No. 6 fuel oil. The vessel remained grounded perpendicular to the current until March 26, when it was refloated and escorted to dry dock in Portland. At the time of the spill the wind was from the south and the river current velocities were 1.5-3.0 knots. The incident occurred in a turbulent area of the river that experiences some tidal influence.
