The Kulluk was under tow and bound from the Aleutian Islands’ Dutch Harbor to a Seattle shipyard when it ran into rough Gulf of Alaska water. It broke from its towing vessel, and after four days of futile attempted hookups, ran aground New Year’s Eve in shallow water off Sitkalidak Island, near Kodiak Island.

Damage to the ship led to Shell’s decision not to drill in Arctic waters in 2013.

The Coast Guard marine casualty investigation hearing will begin with testimony from a representative of Offshore Rig Movers International, an association of independent marine contractors. Representatives of Shell, rig operator Noble Corp., and Edison Chouest Offshore, the tow vessel operator, are scheduled to testify, as are Coast Guard personnel who assisted with recovery efforts.

A Coast Guard spokesman, Petty Officer 1st Class David Mosely, said the hearing could last two weeks.

The Kulluk is a 266-foot diameter drilling barge built in 1983 for a Canadian company. Shell bought the vessel in 2005.

It has a funnel-shape, reinforced steel hull designed to operate in ice. The vessel’s most prominent feature is a 160-foot derrick centered in the round vessel.

The Kulluk last year worked in the Beaufort Sea east of Barrow during the short open water season. Shell’s inability to obtain certification for a spill response barge kept the Kulluk and Shell’s second drill vessel, the Noble Discoverer, which operated in the Chukchi Sea, from drilling into petroleum-bearing formations. The Interior Department instead authorized the vessels to perform top hole work, a preliminary step in exploratory drilling.

Few details of how the Kulluk broke loose were released as events unfolded in late December.

The Kulluk was under tow by the Aiviq, a 360-foot anchor handler, on Dec. 27 when a tow line or an attachment broke. A day later, all four engines on the Aiviq failed, possibly due to contaminated fuel.

The vessel’s crew eventually regained power but subsequent tow lines attached by the Aiviq or other vessels also failed.

On Dec. 31, the vessel was attached to the Aiviq and a Valdez-based tugboat, the Alert. In winds approaching 70 mph and swells up to 35 feet, the line to the Aiviq snapped again. An incident command center ordered the Alert crew members to guide the Kulluk as best they could to a grounding site that would cause the least environmental damage.

No petroleum was spilled as the vessel ran aground.

The Aivik on Jan. 6 pulled the Kulluk off the rocky bottom and towed it to protected waters in Kodiak Island’s Kiliuda Bay. It’s since been loaded onto a lift ship and taken to Singapore for repair.

The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, part of the Interior Department, and the National Transportation Safety Board also will participate.

Congressman G. K. Butterfield (NC-01) today commended the United States Coast Guard’s decision to continue maintenance, repair, and overhaul work of the Coast Guard’s C-130 aircraft fleet at the Coast Guard’s Aviation Logistics Center in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. Maintenance on the Coast Guard’s C-130 fleet has been performed in Elizabeth City for the past three years and employs around 240 people, making it one of the largest sources of jobs in the area.

“I am thrilled the Coast Guard will continue its C-130 maintenance work in Elizabeth City,” said Butterfield. “This decision will ensure that good, high-paying jobs stay in Elizabeth City. There is a lot of potential for the aviation industry in this region and I hope this announcement is just the first of many more to come.”

The Coast Guard made its announcement yesterday after completing a competitive solicitation that began in October 2012. The Coast Guard’s decision continues the aircraft and maintenance repair contract in Elizabeth City for one year with options to extend up to four additional years.

In January, Senator Kay Hagan and Congressmen Butterfield, Howard Coble, and Walter Jones sent a letter to the Commanding Officer of the United States Coast Guard Aviation Logistics Center all agreeing that the aircraft and maintenance repair contract should remain in North Carolina, and specifically Elizabeth City, due to the number of jobs it supports.

The U.S. Coast Guard announced last week that because of budget constraints and Shell Oil’s recent announcement that it would not be drilling in the Arctic in 2013, the Coast Guard would not resume its Arctic presence this summer. While the exact details are yet unclear, it is likely that the two helicopters and C-130 fixed wing aircraft staged in Barrow last summer, along with communication equipment and increased patrols with Coast Guard vessels, will be pulled out of the area.

Meanwhile, Anchorage this week had the honor of touring the USS Anchorage, a $1.3 billion ship whose duties will likely call it far from its namesake’s state. This is just another in a long list of federal decisions that are shortsighted on both a national and local scale. While the Coast Guard scrambles for funding and makes due with antiquated, refurbished icebreakers, the Navy is continuing to expand its fleet.

While part of the situation necessitating the Coast Guard’s move to the Arctic dissipated following Shell’s 2012 belly flop of a season, many other reasons for a continued enforcement in the area still exist. The Arctic is hotter than ever, and not just from a temperature standpoint. It’s also a hotspot for adventure tourism — often the kind of pushing-the-envelop activity that leads to emergencies of one kind or another. Last year, kayakers, jet-ski riders, unassisted boaters, rafters and even a swimmer or two took on the challenge of Arctic waters. That no one lost his or her life in all that risky business is pure luck.

Even tourists who have a much tamer agenda are likely to get into trouble in the Arctic. As a new frontier, few of the people navigating Arctic waters will have any experience there, where ice floes and temperamental weather patterns are the norm. And since it is such an unregulated place, all that activity will occur without so much as a glimpse of oversight by anyone. If someone runs into trouble in Arctic waters, it is highly likely that their cries for help will go unanswered.

Then there’s the whole issue of increased shipping in the Arctic. No one knows for sure how many vessels will come across the Northern Sea route from Northern Europe past Russia this year, and that activity is largely dependent on what the ice does.

But suffice it to say it will almost certainly be more than last year, and many of those vessels will have little to no communication with America. Activity in Canada’s Arctic waters is also increasing substantially. Last year, Rear Adm. Thomas Ostebo told Popular Mechanics magazine that some 1,000 vessel transits are taking place in the Bering Strait each summer.

There is also a lot of science going on in the Arctic these days, science that could and should be supported by a Coast Guard presence. The more we understand about climate change and the impacts it may have in the Arctic, the better we can react with insightful policy that will protect our waters, lands and the subsistence livelihood of Arctic people.

There are also issues of national security. Many nations without Arctic coastline are eying the development potential of areas important to the United States. While it would be wonderful to think we live in a world where nations respect each other’s resources, be they fish or oil, that has not been proven to be the case. Anywhere that holds potential for a lot of money also holds potential for a lot of trouble, especially if those interests are largely unprotected.

It’s easy to express the sentiment that pull-out from the Arctic is misguided when you aren’t the person trying to fund an entire operation like the Coast Guard’s essential presence in Alaska. And certainly resources must be applied where they are needed most.

But on the other hand, once you cut a resource, it is that much harder to get it back later. Surely, no one ever said the Coast Guard was in the Arctic last summer simply to provide support and protection to the oil industry and its activity, but it certainly looks like the interests of those who are still bearing the risk of all the other activity in the north are being undervalued now compared to the attention Shell got last summer.

Coast Guard Lt. Ryan Waitt is now the Nantucket’s commanding officer.  Lt. Andrew S. Dunlevy, former commanding officer of Coast Guard Cutter Nantucket,  heads to San Diego to pursue a Master’s degree, the Coast Guard reports.

Highlights of Dunlevy’s command of the Nantucket included  ”nine counter drug and migrant interdiction deployments off the shores of Miami and Key West. During the patrols, the crew interdicted more than 270 migrants and conducted several repatriations that resulted in returning more than 90 illegal immigrants attempting enter the United States,” according to a media release.

“It has been a privilege to serve with this crew over the past year,” said Dunlevy. ”Due to changing circumstances and an extremely busy theater of operations, this year has flown by. The adaptability and willingness of the crew to always find the best in every situation has been nothing short of amazing.”

The Nantucket’s new commanding officer comes  from the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in New London, Conn., where he has taught for the last three years.

The Nantucket, a multi-mission 110-foot Island Class patrol boat, provides law enforcement and lifesaving services as needed along the coast.

The transformation will configure the CN235 with systems from the HC-144. The systems will have built-in faults that will allow maintenance personnel the opportunity to learn troubleshooting on actual HC-144 aircraft.

“It is very satisfying to see this airframe being used as an integral part of the HC-144A program,” said Sean O’Keefe, EADS North America Chairman and CEO. “We look forward to its performing many years of service in training the technicians who will keep the fleet safe in the air.”

The USCG Aviation Technical Training Center, located in Elizabeth City, N.C., currently has similar training aids for other fleet aircraft including the EADS Eurocopter MH-65 Dolphin helicopter. The HC-144 maintenance training unit will be the first of its kind for an Airbus Military aircraft when the transformation is complete.

Formally known as P1, the CN235 prototype was christened Infanta Elena after the Spanish royal family member who acted as its godmother on its rollout in 1983. It was initially demonstrated at the Farnborough and Paris airshows and was dedicated to the certification and development of the CN235 aircraft platform. It later served as a company demonstrator for the -100 series, -200 series and maritime patrol version.

The United States Coast Guard operates fourteen HC-144A Ocean Sentry Maritime Patrol Aircraft and has four additional planes on order scheduled for delivery in 2013 and 2014. With the ability to remain airborne for more than ten hours, the Ocean Sentry is performing a wide range of maritime patrol missions for the Coast Guard, including drug and migrant interdiction, disaster response, and search and rescue. The HC-144A achieved initial operational capability with the Coast Guard in 2008, and today is operational from Coast Guard air stations in Mobile, Ala., Cape Cod, Mass., and Miami.

New London — The U.S. Coast Guard Academy christened the Michael J. Greeley, a new research vessel, on Friday, April 26, at the campus.

According to the academy, the vessel will allow the school to enhance the marine science curriculum with more oceanographic research. The Michael J. Greeley, which is capable of long-distance trips, will be operated by military personnel and civilians who complete a qualification training program.

The vessel was a gift from the academy’s Class of 1961 through the academy’s Alumni Association. The academy supplied the engines and hydraulic equipment.

U.S. Coast Guard Station Georgetown hosted a ceremony on Thursday morning to dedicate the arrival of its new Response Boat Medium.

This 45-foot boat is designed to replace the 1970’s era 41-foot Utility Boat that is currently assigned to Coast Guard Station Georgetown, according to officials.

Congressman Tom Rice, the U.S. representative for South Carolina’s 7th congressional district, visited Georgetown on Thursday and took part in the dedication.

Now a member of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, Rice also brought the chairman of that committee, Rep. Bill Shuster.

Both Rice and Shuster spoke during the dedication and took a ride on the boat before another meeting at Lands End Restaurant.

“Thank you so much for your service,” Rice said to the Coast Guard officers present. “You lay your life on the line for our safety.”

Shuster agreed, saying that what the Coast Guard does is vital to the security and safety of the United States.

“We appreciate you promoting safety and security,” Shuster said. “Since 9/11 you have had more missions and sometimes have had to make due with limited resources. We will go back to D.C. and see what we can do to help.”

Also in attendance were Georgetown Mayor Jack Scoville, Georgetown City Fire Chief Joey Tanner and other local officials.

Scoville said the Coast Guard is very important in Georgetown County since there are more boats registered to people than vehicles.

“There is so much water related activity here and we are glad to have young men and women who rise up to help make our time on the water safer,” Scoville said.

This boat is the second of five boats that will be delivered to Coast Guard Sector Charleston over the next year, and assigned to four small boat stations throughout South Carolina and Georgia.

The 45-foot Response Boat Medium is one of the Coast Guard’s newest boats and is equipped with state-of-the-art marine technology which makes the RB-M a high performer.

Its outfit includes an advanced electrical system, water jet propulsion, and integrated electronics that allow greater control from the pilot house, officials said.

Its increased capability will enable the Coast Guard to respond to missions more effectively within the coastal South Carolina and Georgia region.

On a glorious Friday in April, a day when spring finally seemed to be in control of the weather, we headed to the U. S. Coast Guard Academy in New London. Although I grew up in Connecticut, I had never been there. On a few occasions in spring and in fall, all 1,000 young cadets participate in a regimental review. This was one of those days, and so we planned to end our day at the academy with the 4 p.m. event.

I wanted to see this service academy with its stunning location along the Thames River. The academy moved here in 1932 from nearby Fort Trumbull. I hoped to get a glimpse of the life of these young cadets preparing for careers in a crucial, dangerous, and admired service — guarding the 95,000 miles of U. S. coastline (including the Great Lakes).

Although I’ve visited both West Point and Annapolis, this smaller, more intimate environment seemed a tad more relaxed. After showing drivers’ licenses for identification at the gate just off Route 32, we were told we could park in any available lot. With our glossy, four-color brochure provided (great map), we spent the rest of the sunny day wandering around campus, viewing the museum, eating lunch in a small restaurant open to the public, and, finally, being awed by the regimental review. When we stood for “The Star-Spangled Banner” by the Coast Guard Band at the Washington Parade Field later that day, we were filled with pride in our nation and in our Coast Guard.
