Mills said the captain of Gulf Justice called the Coast Guard and it airlifted 12 people off the vessel. So, when he ran the range to get inside, he ran the ground, which would’ve been dead center in the channel.” If he was running the ranges, there’s no way to run the range at Mansfield Cut without running the ground. “This captain assumed he had found a safe moorage or safe passage for his ship to get out of the way of the storm and when he tried to make the run inside, he struck the channel. Mills said he is assuming that the captain thought the ship channel was deeper than what it is. A port that should have been easily be able to handle a 200 foot ship because in the day 90 to 125 foot ships are coming in and out multiple times a day.

No one was injured but Port Mansfield officials are concerned that if it stays stuck in the ship channel it could affect trade at the port. The vessel is named Gulf Justice and it was transporting welder and diver supplies to offshore oil rigs.
