Tugboat sinks at Seattle waterfront pier
State officials said a tugboat sank at its Seattle waterfront pier and a crew member was taken to a hospital Saturday night.
State officials said a tugboat sank at its Seattle waterfront pier and a crew member was taken to a hospital Saturday night.
The state Department of Ecology says the tugboat sank around 10 p.m. after waves inundated the stern of the vessel.
One crew member who was on the boat when it sank was taken to Harborview Medical Center and later released.
The tugboat is owned by Seattle-based NRC Environmental Services, a cleanup contractor, which dispatched two other boats after the tug sank. The U.S. Coast Guard also responded.
An Ecology Department spokesman said the tugboat had about 200 gallons of diesel in its tanks, but there were no visible leaks Saturday.
