Disabled tanker leaks oil near Maine and New Hampshire
The Athenian Star, a 560 foot Cypriot registered tanker, suffered a 5 by 15 foot hole in its port bow and cracks in the hull off Portsmouth harbor. It leaked about 10,000 gallons of oil into Maine waters while Coast Guard crews prepared to make multiple offloading trips to two assist vessels to allow the ship to reach port. A snowstorm hampered operations and visibility as officials investigated why the ship did not report the leak.
