On July 27, the 30 foot long fishing vessel Fishing Time suffered damage and water ingress off Valdez, Alaska. The Fishing Time was fishing off Valdez when the hull suffered a four inch crack allowing water ingress.  The crew requested assistance with the Coast Guard 45 foot long response boat from Valdez.  The Coast Guard arrived on scene and was able to safely transfer a dewatering pump along with a damage control kit to bring the flooding under control.  The Coast Guard escorted the Fishing Time to Cordova safely.  No reports of injuries to the two crew on board.
