   1. On November 23, 1998, a tanker reported losing about 50 barrels of Light Arabian Crude about 60 miles offshore of Sabine Pass and within a mile of the dividing line between two USCG response zones. The vessel's location is in MSD Lake Charles's response zone, but the oil quickly moved into Marine Safety Unit (MSU) Galveston's response zone. USCG district 8. Keyword: none.

   1. At about 1245 CST, Nov. 23rd, a tanker reported losing about 50 bbls of Light Arabian Crude. The location of the spill was given as 28? 43.5' N by 93? 36.5' W. This is about 60 miles offshore of Sabine Pass and within a mile of the dividing line between two USCG response zones. The vessels location is in MSD Lake Charles's Response Zone, but the oil quickly moved into MSU Galveston's Response Zone. MSU Galveston requested an oil trajectory on 24 Nov. (see Hotline #2) and stated that overflights would be conducted by MSD Lake Charles. The NOAA trajectory doesn't anticipate any landfall within the next three days (the duration of the trajectory forecast). In general, given the type of oil, quantity spilled, and current offshore weather and ocean currents, the potential for observable beach oiling is very low. Nearly half of the oil will evaporate and the rest will form small tarballs. The [...]
