NOAA Office of Response and Restoration

Recorded as: NOAA OR&R

Oil and chemical spill and vessel casualty responses published through NOAA IncidentNews, collected by seahazards.

Scientific and monitoring agencies issue warnings about their own work at sea — research vessels, moorings and seafloor instruments — or relay alerts about natural hazards such as tsunamis and space weather that affect ships.

What the archive holds

4,546 messages in this archive record NOAA OR&R as their authority, issued from 1957-03-29 to 2026-09-22. 5 of them are in force in the latest lists we collected.

Spills accounts for 4,546 of 4,546 recorded messages (100%), the largest warning type group in this selection.

Located messages lie in 40 sea areas, most often Gulf of Mexico, North Atlantic Ocean and North Pacific Ocean.

The largest yearly count is 2008, with 186 messages. Collection is incomplete between 2024-05 and 2026-08-17, so those years are not comparable.

They reached this archive through NOAAORR (4,546).
