I was the Mooring Master on the lightering vessel SPT Crusader and with the whole team at Skaugen PetroTrans ,the Lightering Support Vessel SPT Defender and the USCG, the salvage oil transfer was successful and the vessel was re-floated after the SPT Crusader separated from the Yasa Golden Dardanenelles
I am a part of the us naval sea cadets and my base is on one of the coast guard bases in yurbobuana island and i want to the thank the coast gurad for letting us use this thier base. I love the coast guard!!
The orange ship is called a lightering ship. Oil was pumped from the grounded ship into the lightering ship, to make it weigh less. If you look closely, you can see the black hose connecting the two ships. That is the hose that the oil is flowing through.
