Monday, May 24, 2010 Ship runs aground off Kalama, Wash. A cargo ship ran aground in the Columbia River at Kalama on Sunday afternoon near the iconic totem pole in Kalama Marine Park. The U.S. Coast Guard said "a steering casualty" caused the 197-meter-long Pacific Flores from Hong Kong to run aground. Petty officer first class Tom Zeiner said the Coast Guard is investigating to determine the exact problem. Two tugboats efficiently guided the undamaged ship back out into deep water as a large crowd of onlookers lined the shore, despite the rain. Zeiner said the ship had just left the Port of Kalama and was en route south to the Port of Vancouver. It carried no cargo, he said. No one was injured and there was no pollution, he said. - Longview Daily News For the full story: tdn.com More Newswire stories Report: Many subsidized L.A. clean trucks not meeting trip requirement New Jersey Senate demands action on Bayonne Bridge fix Gazprom set to expand in Asia-Pacific DHL to build $1.5 mil DC in Vietnam Today's Cargo News Archives	Click to browse past stories on these topics: Logistics Ports & Infrastructure Economic Outlook Environmental Impact Technology
