All of the diesel from the damaged tank is believed to have been lost. The reported position places the vessel in Gulf of Mexico waters approximately 10 miles E/NE of Pass a Loutre.
    2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: DIESEL FUEL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 300 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.
