Ammonia leak stirs Dutch Harbor
Firefighters sprayed water in an effort to suppress vapors. As a community precaution, the Excellence later was towed (top photo) to an offshore mooring buoy in Wide Bay.
Three people needed medical attention for ammonia exposure, with two of those transferred to Anchorage.
A hazmat team from the UniSea processing plant went aboard the vessel today and determined ammonia was still leaking.
Ammonia is a gas used in freezer systems.
The 367-foot Excellence is a mothership that processes Bering Sea pollock deliveries from catcher boats.
