    1. At 0824 on August 21, 1997, the USCG Group Moriches was notified that the 220-foot dredge Alaska had broken her mooring lines and might run aground off the coast of Long Island, New York. There were 22 people onboard. The Alaska was approximately 1,500 feet offshore of Moriches, New York. The dredge had about 117,000 gallons of diesel aboard. The crew was airlifted off the dredge because of the high seas. USCG district 1. Keyword: containment boom, evaporation, salvage, potential spill.

    1. On 9-AUG-2024, USCG Southeast Alaska contacted the NOAA AK SSC and NW RRO about the 48ft wood hulled purse seine FV Alaska that capsized yesterday (8-AUG-2024) near Gap Point in Tepenkof Bay off Kuiu Island. The vessel sank to a depth of 50 fathoms, with a max potential of 1,000 gallons of diesel aboard, however it is believed that only 200-300 gallons were in the tanks at the time. The vessel also sank while the purse seine net was actively deployed. No sheen has been reported and the net has not been located at this time. USCG is requesting an informal ESA Section 7 Consultation with NMFS and USFWS.
    2. THREAT: OIL.

Not for navigation. The name is read automatically from official navigational warnings; a common name can belong to more than one ship, and a message may describe work the vessel is doing (cable, survey) rather than something that happened to it. Mariners must use official NAVAREA broadcasts and their national MSI service.
