NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — The Coast Guard is assisting with an oil spill in the Elizabeth River Friday morning.

An estimated 10 gallons of oil was spilled in the Elizabeth River near downtown Norfolk.

According to officials, the oil spill occurred around 8:50 a.m. during a fueling operation. The NOAA Ship Thomas Jefferson had fuel spill during refueling operations when the fuel barge’s hose detached from the barge, NOAA said.

The ship was boomed by NOAA personnel prior to fueling. The contractor and ship’s crew quickly deployed measures to absorb and mitigate the spread of spilled fuel, NOAA said. Nobody has been injured.

Drone 10 got video that shows the spillage.

Haun Ventures is riding the bitcoin high
Blockchain startups were red-hot when Katie Haun left Andreessen Horowitz in 2021 to launch her own crypto-focused venture firm. Despite having a massive arsenal of dry powder, Haun Ventures didn't rush to scoop up stakes in crypto and web3 on the cheap, and many observers wondered when the firm would pick up its deployment pace. While Haun Ventures says it wasn't exactly sitting on its hands (and capital) through crypto's downturn, the firm was perhaps more cautious than it initially intended.
