Staten Island NY.
1. On Friday 13 September 2013 at about 0900, USCG Sector NY received a notification from NRC of a spill of an unknown amount of No. 6 oil from a tank on the barge CASABLANCA at the Kirby Facility in Staten Island due to a possible valve failure. Initial cause of the spill was attributed to a clogged stem while transferring product between tanks. During transfer, the stem clogged allowing the product to spill from the tank into the water for approximately 15 minutes.
2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: #6 OIL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 6000 GALLONS.

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.
