Watchstanders at Sector Corpus Christi received a report at approximately 9 a.m., that an 82-year-old man aboard the Cache, a 50-foot sailing vessel, suffered a head injury and required immediate medical assistance. Station Port O'Connor launched a 41-foot Utility Boat and crew at approximately 9:10 a.m. Air Station Corpus Christi launched an MH-65 Dolphin and crew at approximately 10 a.m.

The UTB crew located the Cache and successfully transferred the man off the sailboat.

Once onscene, the helicopter crew hoisted the injured man from the UTB and transported him to awaiting emergency medical services at Victoria Regional Airport.

"The sailboat crew did a good job of providing first aid until we were able to get on scene," said Petty Officer 2nd Class Matthew Hernandez, the coxswain of the UTB. "This is a prime example of how being a prepared mariner and using VHF-FM marine channel 16 can help the Coast Guard to quickly and safely provide assistance to mariners in distress."

MOBILE, Ala. — The unified command for the Mobile Ship Channel oil spill is continuing its joint response, Tuesday, to the release of fuel oil at the Gulf Coast Asphalt, LLC., here, Thursday.

Inclement weather passing through the area caused the temporary suspension of clean-up operations on the Mobile Ship Channel. Today, operations resume as weather conditions became safer and more manageable for crewmembers.

"Safety of our responders is a priority," said Capt. Don Rose, Federal on Scene Coordinator. "Now that the foul weather has abated, we are getting our resources back out on the water to continue the clean up and recovery operations."

Gulf Coast Asphalt has been working in conjunction with Oil Spill Response Organizations to contain the spill.

Approximately 21,900 feet of containment boom has been deployed, as well as 13 drum skimmers, one Marco skimmer, 15 vacuum trucks to assist in clean-up efforts and 68 vessels assigned to the response.

A temporary safety zone is in place between Three Mile Creek and the south end of the Mobile Convention Center. This safety zone is needed to protect vessels and persons from potential safety hazards associated with the oil spill. All vessels must use a safe minimum speed and minimal wake when entering or transiting through the zone. Vessels must comply with all orders of the Coast Guard on scene patrol vessels. All concerned traffic may contact the Coast Guard on VHF-FM Ch. 16 or at 251-441-5976.

To report oiled wildlife, contact the unified command wildlife group at 713-705-5897. For information on transiting the safety zone contact Coast Guard Sector Mobile at 251-441-5670. To report oil sightings contact the National Response Center 1-800-424-8802. For up-to-date port and river information go to www.homeport.uscg.mil . For information concerning vessel decontamination call 251-441-5201. For claims due to damages associated with this spill call 1-866-450-9214.
