The 382 foot long tanker-barge DBL 106 ran aground near Kodiak, Alaska.  The tanker-barge,  loaded with an undisclosed amount of fuel, was being towed by the 124 foot long, 469 dwt tug Bismarck Sea when it ran aground 2 miles from Kodiak.  The barge was successfully refloated and was taken to an anchorage where it could be inspected.  No reports of injuries, damage or pollution.  A boom will be placed around the DBL 106 to contain any potential pollution. The Coast Guard have dispatched inspection personnel to the scene while aircraft will conduct an overflight as part of the assessment.
