| Description |
Oil spills have occurred because of lost propulsion or steering, grounding, or a hull breach resulting in release of cargo or bunkers. Emergency towing may have prevented the spill or mitigated its impact. There have been a number of instances where vessels operating in or near Washington State waters have required the assistance of an emergency towing vessel. |
