“I’m just really glad to see that we were able to get a positive outcome on this, no pollution, no injuries and we got everybody back safe home,” Lieutenant Joseph Snyder said.
THUNDER BAY – The Coast Guard Sector Northern Great Lakes in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan was notified by VHF radio that Michipicoten was taking on water, at 6:46 a.m. on Saturday.
“Fortunately, there was no pollution in this case, but we always want to be prepared for the worst-case outcome. Once they had determined the vessel was no longer taking on water and were not at risk of sinking, they moved on to the next priority, which is always pollution, he said. “We’re thinking ahead to what we need to do to quickly investigate, determine the cause, make sure other ships aren’t at risk, and then we make sure the marine transportation system remains fully operational,” Snyder said.
