Coast Guard terminates fishing vessel voyage near Kodiak
KODIAK — A boarding team from the Coast Guard cutter SPAR terminated the voyage of the fishing vessel Arctic Storm after discovering numerous safety violations aboard the vessel Thursday.
The crew of the SPAR escorted the Arctic Storm back to Kodiak after boarding team members discovered six safety violations, the most significant being the 2006 expiration of the vessel's life raft and hydrostatic release.
The crew of the Arctic Storm was met by personnel from the Coast Guard Marine Safety Detachment in Kodiak and will be required to correct all discrepancies before setting sail again.
Press release continues here.
Note: The vessel involved in this case is not the Bering Sea factory trawler Arctic Storm. Rather, it is a much smaller vessel.
