The cause of a recent ammonia release aboard the Alaska Juris has been determined. According to the Coast Guard’s local marine safety detachment, the leak came from a faulty hose, which has since been replaced.

The ammonia leak occurred at sea on May 10, and three crewmembers were medevaced from the factory trawler because of exposure. The Alaska Juris, which is owned by the Fishing Company of Alaska, has been docked at OSI since the event. No further medical calls connected to the ammonia leak have been made, but the Unalaska Department of Public safety did send an ambulance to the vessel last night because of an unrelated incident.
