   Apex 3417 Barge, Apex 3503 Barge; near buoy 58 in Galveston Bay, Texas.
   near buoy 58 in Galveston Bay, Texas.
   1. On July 28, 1990, at 1430, the Greek Tank Vessel Shinoussa collided with the tank barges Apex 3417 and Apex 3503 in the Houston Ship Channel (HSC) near buoy 58 in Galveston Bay, Texas. All three cargo tanks of the Apex 3417 were damaged, as well as the aft tank of the Apex 3503, resulting in the release of nearly 17,000 barrels of No. 5 oil (vacuum oil/catalytic feed stock) into Galveston Bay. A third tank barge also under tow, the Apex 3510, was not damaged in the collision. The Apex 3417 sank with its stern resting on the bottom of the channel and only its bow showing above the water. It released nearly all of its cargo, over 15,000 barrels of oil, over the course of two days. Apex 3503 was less damaged and ultimately released 1130 barrels of oil into the water. The Apex 3510 was towed to Houston, discharged its 23,000 barrel cargo, and returned on July 30 to offload the remaining oil [...]
   2. COMMODITY: NO. 5 OIL (VACUUM OIL / CATALYTIC FEED STOCK). MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 714000 GALLONS.

   Octave Pass Mystery Spill; Octave Pass, LA.
   Octave Pass, LA.
   1. At 1550 CDT the ASSC was contacted by MSO New Orleans about four distinct packets of oil within an area measuring 0.75 X 5 miles approximately 1.5 nautical miles east of Octave Pass in position 29? 15.45'N 089? 06.08'W. The source and type of oil is unknown at this time. On scene winds are from the SE at 9kts and seas are 2-3 feet. A fishing vessel in the area initially reported the slick and observed areas of dark brown to rainbow sheen. The fishing vessel also reported a hydrocarbon smell while in the slick. An FPN has been opened and a contractor is on-scene. NOAA is providing weather, trajectory, and resources at risk. USCG district 8.
   2. COMMODITY: CRUDE OIL.
