11月2号下午，强风导致一艘驳船（平底载货船）失控一路漂流，撞上西雅图海滨 66 号码头。

海岸警卫队证实，最终用了三艘拖船才成功控制住自由漂流的驳船，并将其固定在码头上。海岸警卫队表示将在码头进行损失评估，目前尚无因此事件造成人员受伤或污染的报告。

西雅图消防局 (SFD) 公共信息官员证实，最初有计划在受影响的建筑中进行人员疏散，但一经拖船控制住驳船，疏散工作就被取消了。据西雅图港称，这艘驳船属于阿拉斯加海运公司。

11月2日，驳船撞击码头的一同天——在俄罗斯，集装箱拖船SOLOMBALETS-3在俄罗斯北极巴伦支东南部海域的暴风雨天气中拖船沉没。

载有350吨燃料的驳船将运往Kolguyev岛nenets定居点，在冬季为发电机提供工作。拖缆断裂，失控的驳船在岛和大陆之间的某个地方漂流。

据了解她被发现并受到监控，但恶劣的天气阻碍了她重新被拖回。考虑到货物，驳船本身就是一种危险，也是一种航行危险，因为该地区交通繁忙。

Nov 2 seemed to be a day of breakaway barges – in Russian Arctic fuel barge is still adrift somewhere in southeast Barents sea, while in Seattle Harbor, Elliot Bay, container barge broke free from Terminal 18 in the afternoon Nov 2. 

Barge drifted across harbor and stopped after hitting marina Pier 66. Barge could bring on much more damages, if not for quick reaction and response of water taxi skipper Capt. 

Dan Krehbiel and his crew. Krehbiel steered the boat toward the barge, and by pushing barge with taxi bow, diverted it from a dangerous collision with waterfront.

Later barge was taken back to Terminal, pier is reportedly damaged.

Tug SOLOMBALETS-3 lost barge in southeastern Barents sea, Russian Arctic, reportedly on Nov 2, during towage in stormy weather. 

Barge with 350 tons of fuel is destined for Kolguyev island nenets settlements, to provide power generators work during winter. 

Towline snapped, runaway barge is drifting somewhere in the area between island and mainland, understood she’s spotted and monitored.

But adverse weather hampers attempts to get her back on tow. 

Barge is danger in itself, considering cargo, and a navigational danger, with a lot of traffic in the area.
