Lancero
The 78 foot long fishing vessel Lancero became disabled after suffering water ingress in the Gulf of Mexico off Sabine, Texas. The Lancero, with five crew on board, contacted the Coast Guard requesting assistance. The Coast Guard launched a rescue helicopter and airplane to the scene. The Coast Guard was able to drop three dewatering pumps to the vessel while another fishing vessel arrived on scene to assist. The water ingress was brought under control and the Lancero proceeded under its own power to Brownsville. No reports of injuries or pollution being released. The Coast Guard has launched an investigation into the incident.
