April 21, 2008 — Early this morning, the tug Dorothy Ann had an incident in Marquette, MI. At this time, it is believed that a propulsion unit struck an unidentified object, resulting in the release of less than thirty gallons of lube oil through a seal into the water. The release was promptly contained.
The US Coast Guard, corporate representatives and a spill response contractor are on scene. An investigation is currently underway, and details will be released at some point in the next several days.
