The Norwegian-flagged tanker SKS Satilla is stable but reporting an 8-degree list to its port side.
The Coast Guard says a flyover by one of its helicopters from Houston showed no signs the ship was leaking any of its cargo. No injuries are reported.
A Coast Guard cutter was en route to the ship Friday afternoon. There was no immediate cause given for the problem.
