Incident Summary On May 17, 2007, Chadux was contacted by a vessel representative for the F/V Tradition. The vessel had rolled while tied to the DeLong Dock in Whittier and was leaking diesel fuel and engine oils. The crew initially encircled the sunken vessel with ADEC containment boom and the USCG added a second layer of containment boom. Chadux initially responded on Thursday afternoon with a response supervisor, a task force leader, and 3 contracted response personnel. As the spill site was boomed, the focus was shifted to recovery- three skimmers and associated pumps, four Fast tanks, and secondary containment for temporary storage were sent to the site and deployed. By Saturday, an additional 5 response personnel, an expeditor, a night shift supervisor, 1000 feet of boom, an additional skimmer, a Chadux work boat, and decon kits were delivered to Whittier. A 30 cubic yard, lined dumpster was contracted for solid waste disposal. Recovery and debris decontamination operations continued until the vessel was refloated on Tuesday, May 22. The response crew in Whittier was shifted to Chadux offices in Anchorage to begin the demobilization and clean up of response resources. Final demobilization occurred on June 5.
