Giant oil rig arrives in Port Angeles as protesters gather on Ediz Hook

PORT ANGELES — A 400-foot-tall offshore oil rig that is expected to be the focus of nonviolent protests later this morning entered Port Angeles Harbor at 7:10 a.m. for a two-week stay.

The Polar Pioneer, being transported piggyback on the MV Blue Marlin, a semi-submersible heavy-lift ship, is expected to anchor in the harbor for routine outfitting before being floated on to Seattle.

Owned by Transocean Ltd., the drilling rig is being escorted by a variety of enforcement agency vessels including Coast Guard control boats and a Clallam County Sheriff’s Office patrol boat. read more
