    Deck Barge MC10; Hampton Roads, Virginia.
    Hampton Roads, Virginia.
    1. On February 2, 1995, the deck barge MC10 sank with the tug ECCO III aboard as cargo one-half mile southwest of Old Point Comfort, just north of the main channel. Neither vessel had fuel onboard. The main channels to Hampton Roads were closed for three and one-half hours until the exact location of the sunken barge could be determined, its status as a hazard to navigation assessed, and the wreck marked with a buoy. USCG district 5. Keyword: none.
    2. COMMODITY: SUNKEN VESSELS.
    3. POSITION 36.997N 076.323W. NOAA INCIDENTNEWS 7079: https://incidentnews.noaa.gov/incident/7079

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.
