Fuel spill at Bremerton shipyard quickly contained
A spill of 500 gallons of a jet fuel-seawater mixture from the USS Abraham Lincoln at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton this afternoon was contained by a boom and did not escape into Sinclair Inlet, a Navy Region Northwest Release said.
A spill of 500 gallons of a jet fuel-seawater mixture from the USS Abraham Lincoln at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton this afternoon was contained by a boom and did not escape into Sinclair Inlet, a Navy Region Northwest Release said.
The fuel mixture spilled from an overflow pipe on the side of the ship about 2:42 p.m. More than 50 ship and shipyard personnel responded immediately, the release said.
The ship was already boomed as a standard precaution, and crews placed 5,000 feet of additional boom around the ship as a backup. Cleanup teams used absorbent pads and two oil skimmers to collect the oil inside the boom.
The cause of the spill is under investigation.
