City looks to local fixes for shipping safety


Tuesday, March 20 2007
Unalaska, AK – Earlier this month, Unalaska narrowly avoided what could've been a catastrophic oil spill when a 443-foot seafood tramper came within fifteen minutes of a shipwreck in Unalaska Bay. The incident was a wake-up call for city officials, who have seen one serious oil spill and several close calls near Unalaska Island in the last several years, and now say they can't wait for a fix from the federal or state governments. In Unalaska, KIAL's Charles Homans has the story.
