据当地政府称，2024年7月13日凌晨，一艘油轮与一艘小型客船相撞，造成一人死亡，一人失踪。

事故发生在凌晨5点30分左右，地点在阿兰萨斯港的航道上。

一位好心人通过16频道向美国海岸警卫队科珀斯克里斯蒂区报告了这起碰撞事件。

事故导致载有四人的小型包租船部分沉没。

救援工作立即开始，一艘好心的撒玛利亚船只和阿兰萨斯港领航船从水中救出了两名幸存者，并找到了一名受害者的尸体。

尽管在7月13日和14日动用了空中和水面资源，在125平方英里的范围内展开了大规模的搜索行动，但在经历了44个小时后，海岸警卫队于7月14日下午取消了对失踪乘客的搜索。

州和地方第一响应者，包括阿兰萨斯山口警察局、科珀斯克里斯蒂港警察局、德克萨斯州公园和野生动物管理局以及德克萨斯州公共安全部，以及当地划船者，进行了搜索行动。

为确保搜索行动的安全，该航线被暂时关闭。

涉案船只、幸存者和受害者的姓名尚未公布，事件原因仍在调查中。

科珀斯克里斯蒂港告诉当地媒体，该港口仍然致力于确保其水道的安全，他们将继续评估为改善安全和保障而可能采取的任何进一步措施。

美国海岸警卫队队长Torrey Bertheau表示，对失踪人员的搜索工作已于7月14日上午结束，但碰撞原因仍在调查中。

A tanker collided with a small passenger boat early on July 13, 2024 morning, killing one and leaving another missing, according to local authorities.

The incident occurred around 5:30 am on the Port of Aransas Pass shipping route.

A good Samaritan reported the collision to the United States Coast Guard Sector Corpus Christi via Channel 16.

The accident caused the small charter boat, which was carrying four people, to sink partially.

Rescue efforts began immediately with a good Samaritan vessel and the Port Aransas pilot boat rescuing two survivors from the water and recovering the body of one victim.

Despite an extensive search operation that spanned 125 square miles on July 13 and 14 employing air and su***ce assets, the Coast Guard called off the search for the missing passenger on July 14th afternoon, after 44 hours.

State and local first responders, including Aransas Pass Police, Port of Corpus Christi Police Department, Texas Parks & Wildlife, and Texas Department of Public Safety, along with local boaters, conducted the search operation.

The shipping route was temporarily shut down to ensure the safety of the search operation.

The names of the vessels involved and the survivors and victims have not been revealed, while the cause of the incident is still being investigated.

The Port of Corpus Christi told the local media that the Port remains dedicated to ensuring the safety of its waterways, and they will continue to evaluate any further measures that could be taken to improve safety and security.

US Coast Guard Captain Torrey Bertheau stated that the search for the missing person was concluded on July 14th morning, but the cause of the collision is still being investigated.
