   1. At 0700(Hawaii Time) on 02 Feb, an inbound 550ft cement carrier went aground at the entrance of Barber's Point--21deg 18.6n 158deg 07.6w. There were 550 tons (120,000 gal) of IFO on board. At high tide, the USCG and 3 tugs tried unsuccessfully to refloat her. After offloading most of the vessel's fuel and several tons of the granular concrete cargo, the vessel was successfully floated off the reef early the morning of February 15 on the high tide and towed into deep water. No oil was released during the operations. A joint natural resource trustee and RP dive survey of vessel damage was conducted in the afternoon to assess grounding damage of coral.
   2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: IFO AND GRANULAR CEMENT. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 120000 GALLONS. TAGS: GROUNDING.
