Coast Guard members from the Incident Management Division and the Response Department at Sector Puget Sound in Seattle oversee the clean up operations of two derelict vessels in Port Orchard, Wash., Jan. 14, 2016.
With one vessel on the beach and one tied to a mooring ball off shore, the Coast Guard opened the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund for $15,000, hired Global Diving and Salvage to remove the remaining petroleum products from the two vessels, and notified the Department of Natural Resources Derelict Vessel Removal Program and Washington State Ecology to coordinate further response efforts.
