MIAMI (WSVN) - The U.S. Coast Guard is helping crews with a fuel spill at PortMiami.
Coast Guard officials on Saturday said the crew of the container ship AS Sabrina activated their fuel response plan after they reported a discharge into the water during fueling operations, at around 6 p.m., Friday.
Local responders and the facility responsible for the spill continue cleanup efforts. On Sunday, crews washed down the ship.
Coast Guard officials advise anyone who has to cross these waters to do so carefully, as they work to protect the marine environment.
As of Sunday night, it remains unclear how much fuel spilled into the water.
