   Submerged Dredge Honey Island; Round Island,  Pascagoula, MS.
   Round Island,  Pascagoula, MS.
   1. USCG MSO Mobile notified the NOAA Scientific Support Coordinator of a sunk or partially submerged dredge near Round Island in Mississippi Sound South of Pascagoula, MS early on the morning of 19 November. The incident occurred at approximately 2242hrs on 18 November at position N 30 deg 17.30', W 088 deg 35.40'. This position places the dredge approximately 4 nautical miles N of Horn Island. The dredge had onboard at time of incident some 3000 to 4000 gallons No. 2 Diesel Fuel (diesel), and an estimated 200 gallons bilge slop. The dredge was salvaged and no pollution was reported
   2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: DIESEL FUEL AND BILGE SLOP. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 4000 GALLONS.

   Sunken tug FRITZ CENAC; Dauphin Island, AL.
   Dauphin Island, AL.
   1. The NOAA Scientific Support Coordinator was notified by USCG MSO Mobile that the Tug FRITZ CENAC had sunk (or partially sunk) and was leaking fuel oil. The USCG requested that NOAA assessed the trajectory implications, probable fate, and resources at risk of diesel released in Mississippi Sound from the sunken vessel. The vessel is reported to have sunk sometime around 0500 hrs local time N of Dauphin Island. 50 gallons of diesel spilled when the vessel was refloated and most was recovered.
   2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: DIESEL FUEL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 9000 GALLONS.

   Barge and Tanker Collision; Mobile Bay, AL.
   Mobile Bay, AL.
   1. On the afternoon of 2 December 2003, the NOAA SSC was notified of a collision between a barge and tanker at the intersection of the Mobile Ship Channel and the Inter-coastal Waterway (ICW). Two tanks were reported holed on the tanker: a 5000 bbl gasoline cargo tank and a 7000 bbl diesel cargo tank. The location of the incident was reported as N 30 deg 16.659' Latitude W 088 deg 02.090' Longitude. NOAA investigated the potential threats from the reported collision. While the collision did result in significant damage to the tanker, the USCG reported that very little gasoline and probably no diesel fuel was released to the environment.
   2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: DIESEL OIL AND GASOLINE. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 294000 GALLONS. TAGS: COLLISION.
