Investigators from Coast Guard Sector Anchorage and Coast Guard Marine Safety Detachment Dutch Harbor, and Coast Guard Investigative Service agents are investigating the 'Mark I' for knowingly discharging oil overboard in Canadian waters. A Transport Canada aircrew detected the 'Mark I' transiting through the Canadian exclusive economic zone 97-miles off of Cape St. James, British Columbia, with an approximate 26-mile oil sheen trailing behind, on July 7, 2018. Coast Guard pollution response investigators and CGIS agents boarded the Mark I in Dutch Harbor, Friday. During the boarding they found evidence that bilge waste and oil had been discharged overboard. The Coast Guard Captain of the Port in Anchorage determined that the Mark I poses a substantial threat to the marine environment and ordered the vessel to perform certain marine environmental actions and cleanup.
