Normally an intoxicated boat operator is charged with BUI (Boating Under the Influence) but an Alaska supply boat captain was recently charged with DUI (Driving Under the Influence) after his vessel ran aground in Anchorage.
Albert Anderson, 57, was administered a blood alcohol test and registered one-and-a-half times over the legal limit for operating a motor vehicle or boat, police said.
The case is being treated by Anchorage police as a routine drunken driving incident even though no car was involved.
The 53-foot cargo craft was left “high and dry” on a harbor concrete boat ramp, police said. There was evidence suggesting the vessel had earlier hit and damaged an offshore piling.
