Unalaska, Alaska
On January 6, 2013, "Kulluk" was floated from the rocks. Satisfied the vessel was seaworthy, she was towed to shelter in nearby Kodiak Island's Kiliuda Bay. After further assessment of damage, "Kulluk" was towed to Captains Bay, Unalaska, Alaska, where she was loaded on the heavy lift ship "Xiang Rui Kou". She departed for Singapore for repair and updates in late March 2013.
