On January 15, the 80 foot long, 122 gt research vessel SeaWolf (IMO: 8853489) became disabled in the Atlantic Ocean about 10 miles off Cape May Inlet, New Jersey. The SeaWolf had gone adrift after the vessel suffered a breakdown with the vessel’s transmission.  Unable to make repairs and weather conditions having high winds reaching 35 miles per hour, the SeaWolf contacted SeaTow for assistance.  The SeaTow dispatched a 45 foot vessel which was able to reach the vessel a litter over an hour later. The SeaWolf was taken under tow and was successfully towed to Cape May Harbor. No reports of injuries or pollution released.
