Container Ship Drifting in Heavy Weather off Point Reyes, CA. off Point Reyes, CA. 1. At 1900 hrs on 08-APR-2022, USCG District 11 staff alerted their NOAA SSC of a drifting 560’ (172 m) container ship roughly 8 miles off Point Reyes. She was experiencing engine troubles and the anchor was dragging under heavy weather conditions from the NW. Three tugs are en route and a second anchor was deployed, which slowed drift to <1 knot. Even so, she continues to drift towards the Point Reyes National Seashore and is reportedly carrying roughly 39,000 gallons of fuel. 2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: LOW SULFUR DIESEL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 39000 GALLONS. 3. POSITION 38.060N 123.128W. NOAA INCIDENTNEWS 10440: https://incidentnews.noaa.gov/incident/10440
