The crew of the Kodiak-based Icy Mist ran the 58-foot boat onto a rocky shore of Akutan Island on Wednesday after it took on water.
The four men on board -- Dan Oliver, Clint Packer, Kevin Fisner and Terry Meyer -- lowered a crab pot off the stern and used the line to lower themselves off the boat. They were rescued by a Coast Guard helicopter.
About 2,700 gallons of diesel, 150 gallons of lube oil and 200 gallons of hydraulic oil are on board, along with 60,000 pounds of Pacific cod.
Magone Marine has been contracted to remove the petroleum. The company plans to pump oil into barrels and fly it out by commercial helicopter.
