Incident Summary On July 22, 2007 Chadux was activated by the vessel owner to respond the grounding of a 130 foot tender vessel the F/V Nordic Viking. The Nordic Viking ran aground at the mouth of Olson Bay in Prince William Sound and damaged a diesel tank containing 3,500 gallons of diesel fuel. The RP requested assistance with containing and controlling the spilled product and lightering the damaged vessel. Chadux sent five response personnel (1 task force leader, 2 supervisors/ boat operators and 2 responders) to Cordova to mobilize equipment. Three 32’ bowpickers, one 58’ tender vessel, and one 93’ landing craft were contracted to support the response. Additionally, Chadux used two 249 barrel mini-barges, a peristaltic pumping system, and a skimming system acquired from SERVS. Initial containment was in place 12 hours after notification and the response team then assisted with lightering and salvage operations until demobilization on 7/31.
