TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — The Coast Guard and the Washington state Ecology Department say they’re monitoring a 560-foot cargo carrier that ran aground at a Tacoma log dock.
Ecology spokeswoman Cathy Cochrane says the vessel Ranunculus was loading a cargo of logs bound for Shanghai, China, when it grounded at low tide Tuesday afternoon. The vessel is carrying at least 108,000 gallons of fuel. As of Tuesday evening, there is no indication that any fuel is leaking.
Two Crowley Maritime tug boats have been called to the scene.
The ship is owned by the Japanese shipping company, Santoku Senpaku.
