A tugboat struck a boathouse early Thursday morning in Port O'Connor.
The Port O'Connor Coast Guard received a radio report about 6:15 a.m. Thursday from a tugboat, saying the vessel had run aground, striking a boathouse on the northern shore of the Intracoastal Waterway at mile marker 474, Lt. Steven Vanderlaske said.
The tugboat was pulling two barges with about 50,000 barrels of alkylate, a substance used by refineries to enhance the octane levels in gasoline.
The pilot reported that currents in the Intracoastal Waterway were strong, driving the tugboat into the boathouse near Fishermen's Cut.
Low visibility from lingering fog was also a factor, Vanderlaske said.
The Port O'Connor Coast Guard sent a response boat. No one was injured and no pollution was spreading from the accident.
