Original warning text
Evergreen Timber House Boat; George Inlet, SE Alaska. George Inlet, SE Alaska. 1. Around 2030 on November 23, Sector Juneau reported that a 120 ft. houseboat, owned by Evergreen Timber was aground in Coon Cove in George Inlet. The vessel was taking on water via a small hole in its hull. 6000 gallons of diesel were onboard but none had yet leaked into the environment. Sector Juneau requested support from NOAA for a trajectory, weather and tidal information. SPOT weather forecasts were provided by the Juneau NWS office, and NOAA Hazmat provided the remaining information. The Coast Guard initially provided one dewatering pump and planned to provide additional pumps. By the morning of November 24, five additional pumps had fully dewatered the vessel, causing it to float high enough to expose and patch the hole in the hull. No fuel was released into the water and the Coast Guard declared the incident closed. 2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: DIESEL AND HYDRAULIC FLUID. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 6000 GALLONS. TAGS: GROUNDING. 3. POSITION 55.455N 131.478W. NOAA INCIDENTNEWS 7717: https://incidentnews.noaa.gov/incident/7717
