Two Vessels Receive Assistance After Engine Room Problems


Monday, January 23 2012
January means plenty of boats out fishing in rough weather, and with that comes a higher risk for problems at sea.
The F/V Clipper Epic suffered a power failure near Unalaska this weekend. The 167-foot freezer longliner was successfully escorted to the Spit Dock on Sunday.
Earlier last week, the F/V Glacier Bay was brought in after experiencing an engine room fire. The 154-foot longliner was accompanied by the S/V Redeemer on January 18, and it is currently undergoing repairs at Magone Marine Service.
No injuries related to either incident have been reported.
