At the time of release, the temperature was 48?F. The Newark, NJ Fire Department and Hazmat Team were first on scene and an ISC was established. The responsible party hired a cleanup contractor who made an entry into the facility and vacuumed up puddles of the chemical. The USCG ACTNY maintained federal oversight of the situation. Duration of the response was one day. USCG district 1.

   1. At approximately 1530 the container vessel Albemarle Island was departing the docks from Howlan Hook, Staten Island (on the Arthur Kill), NY. During the departure the vessel struck something that caused a four to five inch crack in the hull in the starboard quarter. The pilot reported seeing a sheen trailing the ship and turned the vessel around at the mouth of Newark Bay and returned to the dock. Upon arrival at the pier the ship began pumping oil out of the cracked tank and secured the leak. It was estimated that the ship leaked three to five gallons per minute for approximately 60 minutes (about 300 gallons). USCG district 1.
