1. The NOAA SSC was notified by USCG Sector Southern New England (SSNE) at approximately 1800 on 18 April, 2009 concerning the grounded 77 foot fishing vessel Cowboy. The vessel is hard aground on a hard bottom. Salvage operations are commencing with an attempt to de-water the vessel. The USCG has requested NOAA support for a "worst case" trajectory. That would be losing the entire contents of the fuel tanks [8,000 gallons of diesel oil] during a maximum flood or ebb tide.
2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: DIESEL FUEL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 8000 GALLONS. TAGS: GROUNDING.
3. POSITION 41.432N 070.845W. NOAA INCIDENTNEWS 8008: https://incidentnews.noaa.gov/incident/8008

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.
