   1. As the container vessel Albemarle Island was departing the Howland Hook Terminal on Staten Island, NY its starboard quarter struck the pier. This punctured the vessel's fuel tank, containing 19,068 gallons of #2 fuel oil. As the vessel was transiting the Arthur Kill the pilot noticed a sheen trailing the ship. At the Newark Bay Turning Basin he turned the ship around and returned to the terminal. It was estimated that approximately 330 gallons of the fuel oil leaked out the crack. The USCG Activities New York (ACTNY) was notified at about 1545. The weather at that time was winds west 15 - 20 knots, air temperature 35 degrees F, sea state was calm. The Responsible Party (RP) hired contractors and boomed off several creek mouths in the area. All actions were monitored by ACTNY personnel. The duration of the response was about one day. USCG district 1.
   2. COMMODITY: #2 DIESEL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 330 GALLONS.

   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.
   2. COMMODITY: #2 FUEL OIL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 300 GALLONS.
