ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) – Three tug boats helped pull a grounded fuel tanker off a beach on the Kenai Peninsula on Friday, one day after an ice floe pulled the tanker from its mooring and sent it adrift.

The tanker was being filled when it broke lose at the port of Nikiski, 80 miles southwest of Anchorage. Eighty-four gallons of fuel spilled into Cook Inlet, but the tanker’s hull didn’t appear to have cracked, the Coast Guard said.

It took about 40 minutes to refloat the 575-foot Seabulk Pride, said Kip Knudson, a spokesman for Tesoro Alaska, which leases the ship. He said the tanker was pulled into deeper water where it was being inspected.

There was no indication it had leaked fuel while aground on the silt, he said.

“We are pleased to say the ship is once again a ship rather than a beach ornament,” Knudson said.

The 575-foot tanker, loaded with 4.9 million gallons of gasoline and other petroleum products, was knocked loose and drifted about 200 yards before running aground Thursday.

No injuries were reported among the 34 crew members. The ship’s engines had been working but the crew could not control the untied tanker in the onrushing tide, said Jim Butler, spokesman for ship owner Seabulk International of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., a subsidiary of SEACOR Holdings.
