<p><strong>The U.S. Coast Guard on Monday monitored the recovery and transit of the grounded drillship Paragon DPDS1 in the Aransas Pass near Corpus Christi, Texas.</strong></p>
<p>To remind, the grounded drillship, formerly known as the Noble Phoenix, broke loose of its moorings <a href="https://www.offshoreenergytoday.com/hurricane-harvey-grounds-drillship-in-port-of-corpus-christi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">on Saturday</a>, August 26, during Hurricane Harvey, sinking a tugboat in the process.</p>
<p>Last week, Paragon and its service providers <a href="https://www.offshoreenergytoday.com/paragon-mulls-options-for-removal-of-grounded-drillship/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">conducted a survey</a> of the vessel’s condition and presented a removal plan to the Coast Guard that took into account the condition of the channel, the condition of the vessel, public safety, and the environment.</p>
<p>The Coast Guard said on Monday that, after it approved the salvage plan for the drillship, the vessel was recovered and towed to Gulf Marine Fabricators in Corpus Christi.</p>
<p>According to the Coast Guard, there have been no reports of pollution from the incident.</p>
<p>Coast Guard port captain, <strong>Tony Hahn</strong>, said: &#8220;This salvage was an incredibly complex effort achieved only through tremendous collaboration between the Port Authority, pilots, industry stakeholders, the salvage company and the Coast Guard.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am especially thankful for the great oversight and technical counsel I received from Lt. <strong>Dan Burke</strong> of the Coast Guard Salvage Engineering Response Team. His sage counsel was instrumental in the safe salvage and transit of the drillship.&#8221;</p>
