1. On November 18, 2008, NOAA ERD was notified of a sinking towboat in Mississippi Sound, near the western end of Dauphin Island, Alabama. The 53-foot towboat is partially submerged and is now supported by its tow: two barges loaded with 44,000 bbls (1.85 MG) of crude oil condensate. The tug is reported to contain 6,000 gallons of diesel fuel. No spill from the barges or towboat have been reported but USCG has requested ERD to provide trajectory support for the incident.
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.
