The US Coast Guard rescued 12 crew members from an offshore supply vessel off the Texas coast just ahead of last night's powerful landfall by Hurricane Harvey, which is continuing to shutter ports and keep ships away from heavily trafficked ports across the Texas coast.
Air crews from the USCG's station in Corpus Christi hoisted the crew of Baldone Offshore's 661-dwt Gulf Justice (built 1978) into two helicopters.
