The Columbia River Pilots and Columbia River Bar Pilots, monitored traffic and issued restricted movements due to the stern of the vessel partially obstructing the channel. Three tugs arrived to assist, however, the vessel was able to pull itself off the bar in the early morning of June 3 at high-tide, with no injuries or pollution reported.
