Intintoli

In the evening of Nov 6, 2017, the "Intintoli" with 330 passengers on boardwas struck by mechanical problems in the middle of the San Francisco Bay 45 minutes after departing from San Francisco at 5.15 p.m. to Vallejo. The crew in vain tried to troubleshoot after both of the engines went off. While the ferry was stranded in the bay, the snack bar was open and free to customers until they ran out. After three hours a tug came to assist, and at 9:45 p.m., 4,5 hours after the departure from San Francisco, the ferry arrived at Mare Island in Vallejo.

The Vallejo Ferry service in the San Pablo Bay was temporarily suspended in the night of Sep 19, 2016, as the Coast Guard and local emergency responders investigated a possible oil spill. At around 8 p.m.the Coast Guard Sector San Francisco received a call via Vessel Traffic Service from the crew of the "Intintoli" reporting a strong smell of oil while they were transiting near Rodeo and Vallejo. Other reports of a sheen on the water came in from crew members out of the Vallejo Coast Guard station, and other ferries in the area. In response, pollution investigators from both the Coast Guard and California Department of Fish and Wildlife were dispatched to various San Pablo Bay area locations. Meanwhile on shore, reports of an oil-like smell came from residents in Vallejo’s Glen Cove and Beverly Hills Parks neighborhoods, with several people feeling ill from the odor showing up at the local hospital. City officials issued a shelter-in-place order for several hours while firefighters checked for natural gas leaks or other possible sources. Coast Guard boat searches near Vallejo and Mare Island did not detect locate any sheens, not did a helicopter crew that conducted an overflight at first light on Sep 21. Ferry service resumed in Vallejo in the morning
