The crew of the "Peony", a boat that was conducting mooring operations with the tanker, contacted watchstanders at Coast Guard Sector Houston-Galveston for assistance, reporting that a deckhand on the vessel had suffered a severe leg injury. The watchstanders launched an aircrew aboard an MH-65 Dolphin rescue helicopter from Air Station Houston to medevac the man. The aircrew transported him to the Univesity of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston for immediate medical care.
