   1. Potential oil spill 14 January 2003. At 2300 on 14 January the NYSSC was notified of a potential oil release of 33,000 gallons of diesel oil. The bulk carrier Anthea Y ran aground at approximately 1700 approaching its pier in Cementown, NY (on the Hudson River north of Kingston). The Anthea Y is a 641 foot ship carrying a cargo of salt. The ship berthed at the pier and was grounded there. Four tanks were compromised during the grounding. Three of the holds were empty, one contained 33,000 gallons of diesel oil. The ship was boomed in but no oil was reported released. The river contained about 50% ice cover. A morning overflight detected no oil on the river. A salvage plan was implemented and oil removed from the vessel prior to attempts for refloating. The SSC provided ESI data and tide information.
   2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: DIESEL FUEL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 33000 GALLONS. TAGS: GROUNDING.
