Tugboat goes adrift after engine fire, bumps into barge in Hawaii

摘要

A tugboat shipping mixed cargo from Seattle to Honolulu caught fire, lost power and collided with its tow near Maui. The 5,100-hp Phyllis Dunlap experienced a fire in the engine room at 1400 on Dec. 5, 2012, resulting in a complete loss of propulsion. The captain notified U.S. Coast Guard Sector Honolulu and activated the engine room's fire suppression system, which extinguished the fire by 1430.
