Coast Guard, clean-up crews remove fuel and oiled debris from derelict vessel washed ashore on Mona Island, Puerto Rico

Coast Guard Incident Management pollution responders and contracted cleanup crews completed the removal of diesel and oiled debris, Tuesday, from a 40-foot derelict modified low-profile vessel washed ashore on Mona Island, Puerto Rico. Due to the potential impact to the waterway, the Coast Guard activated the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund and contracted Resolve Marine as the oil spill removal organization for this case.  Currently, clean-up efforts are estimated at $190,000 hundred thousand and they are projected to increase.
