Grounded fishing vessel salvaged by Resolve Marine

The 'Northern Endurance', which had run aground near Little Priest Rock on the morning of Jan 23, about three miles from downtown Unalaska, was successfully pulled off again on the morning of Jan 24 by the local salvage company Resolve Marine. The City of Unalaska Fire Department responded to the incident the previous afternoon, but handed operations over to the U.S. Coast Guard Marine Safety Unit shortly after arrival. “The on-scene commander contacted the vessel's captain and confirmed there were no injuries to the crew members aboard, as well as no additional hazardous conditions. The ship was pulled from the rocks around 9 a.m. and has since been docked near Unalaska’s spit for evaluation. The Coast Guard has launched an investigation into the grounding as part of its standard protocol for commercial fishing vessel incidents. The investigation showed that the vessel’s track line appeared relatively straight as it approached Dutch Harbor, but the grounding could have resulted from various factors, including mechanical failures, human error, or navigation system issues.
