Three missing after two offshore supply
vessels collide
8.45 a.m. ET (1346 GMT) March 16, 1998

GRAND ISLE, La. (AP) - Two offshore supply vessels collided off
the coast, capsizing one of them, and three people were missing
today. Four other crewmen were rescued.

The boats, the Bass River owned by Trico Marine and the C
Captain owned by Alpha Marine, ran into each Sunday evening on
the Gulf of Mexico about 10 miles southwest of Grand Isle, the
Coast Guard said.

The boats carry supplies and crew members to offshore oil rigs in
the Gulf.

The Bass River capsized and was partially submerged in shallow
water, said Petty Officer Keith Alholm.

A search for the missing crewmen resumed at dawn today with
divers, 10 volunteer vessels, two Coast Guard helicopters and a
Coast Guard boat.

Two of the rescued crew members were hospitalized. Their
identities and conditions were not released.
