Oil Rig Platform Supply Vessel News

The Coast Guard and local agencies are working to refloat an oil rig platform supply vessel after it ran aground on San Jose Island, Texas. No injuries, damage or pollution were reported, but the captain estimated that the vessel had 8,000 gallons of fuel and 110 gallons of lube oil on board. Coast Guard crews were launched aboard a 45-foot response boat from Coast Guard Station Port Aransas and a HU-25 Falcon jet and MH-65 Dolphin helicopter from Coast Guard Air Station Corpus Christi to assist and evaluate the situation.
