Original warning text

Lucky Buck; Puget Sound, WA.
Puget Sound, WA.
1. At approximately 0030 PDT the F/V Bowfin collided with the Fish Processing Barge Lucky Buck while transiting south into Puget Sound, Washington. The barge sustained damage to its port side stern and began taking on water. The barge was escorted to Point Wells fuel dock south of Edmonds, WA for an initial diver survey. The divers discovered a large hole with flooding progressing forward on the barge. The vessel began to sink at the dock so the decision was made to beach the vessel on a sand and gravel beach just south of the fuel docks. The vessel is carrying 93,000 gals of diesel fuel and a undetermined amount of lube oil. An early morning overflight detected no evidence of oil in the water along the vessel's transit route and presently there is only light sheening in the vicinity of the vessel. USCG district 13.
2. COMMODITY: DIESEL FUEL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 93000 GALLONS.
3. POSITION 47.782N 122.398W. NOAA INCIDENTNEWS 7498: https://incidentnews.noaa.gov/incident/7498
