1. On March 29, 2018, the USCG Sector Honolulu has notified the NOAA SSC that a barge briefly ran aground when entering the entrance channel at Wake Island. No oil was released. USCG is investigating the incident and USFWS is surveying any damage to coral in the area. USCG requested a trajectory analysis in the event of a release while the vessel is stabilized outside of the channel. The vessel is reported to be carrying an estimated 3000 gallons of oil in different capacities.
2. THREAT: OIL.

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.
