    St Johns, USVI.
    1. On November 26, 2014, the USCG notified the NOAA SSC of a 50 foot sailing vessel grounded on the east side of St Johns Island near Drunk Bay on Monday 24 November. The vessel has 300 gallons of diesel onboard. No pollution has been reported as of 0830 26 November 2014 but salvage actions are not safe at this time due to sea conditions on site. USCG requested information on oil fate and effects due to sensitivity of resources in the area and association with the National Park.
    2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: DIESEL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 300 GALLONS. TAGS: GROUNDING.

    Sheening M/V AURORA; Little Potato Slough, Stockton, CA.
    Little Potato Slough, Stockton, CA.
    1. On 22-MAY-2024, USCG Sector San Francisco began responding to the sunken M/V AURORA, a 65-year old, 293-ft decommissioned cruise ship in Little Potato Slough near Stockton, CA. The AURORA was discharging an unknown amount of oil into the San Joaquin River Delta, so Sector San Francisco opened the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund and hired a salvage contractor to mitigate the pollution, while the City of Stockton closed a local drinking water intake.
    2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: 21,000 GALLONS OF OILY WATER, 3,200 GALLONS OF HAZARDOUS WASTE.

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.
