Barges Collide in Corpus Christi Ship Channel

Coast Guard marine inspectors are investigating and monitoring the repair of two barges that collided early Tuesday morning in the Corpus Christi Ship Channel near Ingleside. At approximately 2 a.m., the captain of the tugboat Yellowfin called Coast Guard Sector Corpus Christi, reporting that barges pushed by the tugboats Yellowfin and Capt. Warren collided in the ship channel. “We are very fortunate that there were no injuries to the crew of both vessels and averted a large pollution incident,” stated Cmdr. Jalyn Stineman, the prevention officer of Coast Guard Sector Corpus Christi.
