Dutch Harbor, AK.
1. Late evening on 07-JULY-2012, Sector Anchorage contacted NOAA ERD to request assistance with an anhydrous ammonia leak from the F/V EXCELLENCE; a catcher/processor vessel docked in Dutch Harbor, AK. The vessel had been leaking ammonia from a one-inch pipe on the low pressure side of the refrigeration system since approximately 1230hrs (Aleutian Time)this afternoon and the system was estimated to contain 3-5,000 pounds. The high pressure side of the refrigeration system was estimated to contain an additional 15-17,000 pounds of ammonia. USCG responders in Dutch Harbor requested operational assistance regarding the exclusion zone size and operation of ship-board generators during response operations.
2. THREAT: CHEMICAL. COMMODITY: AMMONIA.
3. POSITION 53.900N 166.542W. NOAA INCIDENTNEWS 8474: https://incidentnews.noaa.gov/incident/8474

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.
