Seattle: Fungus, bacteria in Walla Walla fuel caused ferry to run aground in April
SEATTLE — Bacterial and fungal growth in the ship’s diesel storage tanks led the M/V Walla Walla ferry to run aground on Bainbridge Island in April, according to a Washington State Ferries (WSF) report.
The contaminated fuel was reportedly caused by air and water in the fuel system and overwhelmed the fuel filters.
“We’ve made several changes to ensure it doesn’t happen again,” WSF spokesperson Ian Sterling said.
