    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.
