SABINE PASS, Texas — Two ships will be getting repairs are they collided near Sabine Pass Sunday. At around 12:40 p.m. on August 21, Coast Guard Sector Houston-Galveston received a report that the cargo ship Damgracht was inbound at Sabine Pass via the Port of Beaumont, according to a news release from the United States Coast Guard. The cargo ship had a Netherlands flag and was carrying cement when the crew noticed an engine alarm and shut down their engine as a preventative measure. This resulted in a loss of power and steering, which at one point caused a collision occurred between the Damgracht and the outbound bulker Revelin, which had a Croatia flag and was carrying wood chips.
