Read Authentic Ratings for the Mariya-Moran

In the early hours of November 14, 2019, a maritime incident occurred as the 'Cheramie Botruc 22' collided with the 'Mariya Moran' close to the Sabine Pass entrance in Texas. The collision resulted in damage to one of the vessel’s fuel tanks, leading to an estimated spill of 3,000 gallons of diesel fuel into the water. Fortunately, the source of the release was promptly secured, and the spill was effectively contained. To manage the situation, boom and sorbent materials were deployed around the affected vessel, which is currently anchored outside the shipping channel. Response teams from Coast Guard Station Sabine, Coast Guard Marine Safety Unit Port Arthur, Texas General Land Office, Oil Spill Removal Organization, OMI Environmental Solutions, and Environmental Safety and Health were swiftly dispatched to the scene to address the spill. Although the cause of the collision remains under investigation, it is noteworthy that no injuries were reported. The following day, November 15, the towing vessel made its way to the Valero Port Arthur Refinery East for further assessment.

On February 21, 2019, an urgent rescue operation was executed by the U.S. Coast Guard off the coast of St. Petersburg, Florida, where a 57-year-old crew member aboard the tugboat "Mariya Moran" required immediate medical assistance due to severe chest pains. At approximately 1:24 p.m., the tug's captain contacted the Coast Guard Sector St. Petersburg via satellite phone, reporting the medical emergency. In response, the Coast Guard launched an MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter and an HC-130 Hercules aircraft from Air Station Clearwater to reach the distressed vessel, located 170 miles west of St. Petersburg. By 4 p.m., the airborne rescue teams arrived at the scene, with the Jayhawk crew successfully hoisting the ailing man before transporting him to Tampa General Hospital, where he arrived at 5:42 p.m. This prompt response underscores the Coast Guard's commitment to safeguarding the lives of those working at sea.
