The ALMIGHTY, owned by Pennisi Brothers of Monterey, California, carried approximately 7,000 gallons of diesel, 100 gallons of lubricating oil, and over 80,000 pounds of yellowfin sole. The vessel was approximately 2 miles offshore of Righthand Point and 7 miles north of Round Island, a state walrus sanctuary. A U.S. Coast Guard overflight aircraft crew reported a moderate sheen about 1/2 mile wide that extended 3 miles to the east. USCG district 17.

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.
