   Sun Anchorage T/S Torm Mary; Port Neches, TX.
   Port Neches, TX.
   1. At 0530 on August 2, 2004, the NOAA Scientific Support Team was requested by MSO Port Arthur for an oil spill in the Natchez River in Texas. The T/V Torm Mary was struck by a fuel barge readying to load, leaving roughly a 5'x 1' crack in the Torm Mary . The area hit covered part of the engine room and part of a fuel tank, spilling some of the IFO 380 into the engine room. The 258 metric ton fuel container that was cracked was estimated at 95% full before the collision and twenty minutes later, at 0040 only 50% full, with an estimated 110 metric tons of oil outside the vessel. On-water recovery and shoreline clean up was employed. 280 bbls of oil were recovered and miles of shoreline were cleaned over a 3 week period.
