Fish factory hard aground off Kodiak
The "Pacific Producer" went hard aground in a narrow passage between Kodiak and Spruce Islands on Mar 15, 2013. The vessel grounded on Kodiak Island in 9-foot tides early on Mar 15 and sustained a 10-inch crack in the hull wall of a water tank. No one was injured and no fuel spilled. The crew tried at least twice to refloat the processor in lower tides, but was unsuccessful. Crews were working on repairing the hull. The vessel would likely won't be able to refloat it until higher tides return the coming week. The Coast Guard is investigating the cause of the grounding.
150 gallons Diesel spill from derelict ship in Kodiak harbor reported
The Coast Guard says an estimated 150 gallons of diesel fuel from a fish processing vessel spilled into the Kodiak harbor. KTUU (http://is.gd/LJDWHd ) says the Coast Guard and other agencies responded to the leak Saturday from the vessel Pacific Producer. Petty Officer Guy Hughey says the fuel leaked inside of the ship before some of it was pumped into the harbor. Hughey says about 500 gallons of diesel discharged into the vessel's bilge, triggering the bilge pump. http://www.newsminer.com/news/alaska_news/article_f966e454-5870-11e2-85f3-0019bb30f31a.html
Derelict ship causes ammonia scare
A derelict fish processing ship caused an ammonia scare in Kodiak when two crewmembers living onboard the vessel reported a leak. Kodiak firefighters were joined by Coast Guard firefighters on Monday (Dec. 31, 2012) in responding to reports of a leak on the 169-foot Pacific Producer, according to the Kodiak Daily Mirror. Kodiak City Pier 2 was cordoned off for five hours. Anhydrous ammonia is commonly used as a refrigerant aboard fishing vessels and in fish processing plants. It can cause severe lung damage if inhaled. High concentrations can be fatal. Firefighters boarded the ship and shut all the valves connected to the ship’s ammonia system. Subsequent tests found no ammonia circulating in the air. A storm rolling through Kodiak both helped and hampered firefighters’ efforts. Winds gusting up to 52 mph whisked away the ammonia leak so quickly that firefighters were able to walk next to the boat without protective gear, and no evacuations were required. http://juneauempire.com/state/2013-01-03/derelict-ship-causes-ammonia-scare#.UOVVvW8b6Hg
