M/V Alexia and M/V Enif; Southwest Pass, Louisiana. Southwest Pass, Louisiana. 1. On July 1, 1995, at 0030, the 754-foot Greek-flagged cargo ship Alexia collided with the 514-foot Singapore-flagged ship Enif approximately six miles south of Southwest Pass, Louisiana, near the entrance of the Mississippi River into the Gulf of Mexico. The Alexia's bow was imbedded in the Enif, just aft of amidships and approximately halfway through her beam. The weather at the time of the accident was seven-knot winds from the north, one-foot seas, and ten-mile visibility. The Enif spilled approximately 50,000 gallons of mixed diesel and IFO 180 at the time of the collision. The Alexia reported a 12-foot gash below the waterline, but no spills. On the morning of July 4 the ships were separated with only sheens reported around the Enif. The ships were surveyed, lightered, and allowed to enter Mobile for repairs. USCG district 8. Keyword: Corexit 9527, salvage, potential spill. 2. COMMODITY: DIESEL, IFO 180. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 50000 GALLONS. 3. POSITION 28.783N 089.317W.

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.
