A tug escorting an oil tanker collided with the tanker in heavy winds and seas in Rosario Strait southwest of Anacortes late Saturday night.
The Coast Guard does not yet know the cause of the collision involving the Sea King, a tug owned by Crowley Marine Inc. of Seattle, and the Allegiance, the tanker now at the Tesoro refining facility in Anacortes.
No oil pollution resulted. Two of five crew members on the tug suffered minor injuries.
The captain of the tanker was "very shook up" and is "heavily sedated" in an Anacortes hospital, said Lt. Don Noviello of the Coast Guard's Marine Safety Office.
The tug, which capsized and then righted itself, suffered significant damage, he said. The tanker also was damaged and took on water, but was not in danger of sinking.
