After completion of the cargo loading and while disconnecting transfer lines, a spill occurred at the CITGO LCM D-Dock. The spill was due to the GENISIS Marine Barge GM 3003, operated by TEAM Services, pressuring back to the dock for reasons that remain under review. The offsite impact was the release of .74 gallons of VGO to the Calcasieu River.
A TEAM Services tanker man relieved pressure back to the dock for reasons that remain under review.
The TEAM Services Tanker man closed off the valve which stopped the back pressure on the line from the GENESIS Marine Barge GM 3003. A review of the incident is being conducted to determine the root cause and implement corrective actions.
