Description On Wednesday, March 29, 2006, at about 1400, the fishing vessel DEFENDER’s First Engineer noted oil coming up from below the surface of the water on the ship’s starboard side. The DEFENDER had its starboard side against a pier at a former shipyard in Seattle, Washington while conducting an internal transfer of diesel oil. The ship’s out-of-service starboard main engine day tank, known to be fractured, was unintentionally filled during the transfer. As a result, about 48 gallons of diesel oil was spilled to waters of Washington State.
