1. The NOAA Scientific Support Coordinator was notified by USCG MSO Mobile that the Tug FRITZ CENAC had sunk (or partially sunk) and was leaking fuel oil. The USCG requested that NOAA assessed the trajectory implications, probable fate, and resources at risk of diesel released in Mississippi Sound from the sunken vessel. The vessel is reported to have sunk sometime around 0500 hrs local time N of Dauphin Island. 50 gallons of diesel spilled when the vessel was refloated and most was recovered.
2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: DIESEL FUEL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 9000 GALLONS.
3. POSITION 30.251N 088.181W. NOAA INCIDENTNEWS 1118: https://incidentnews.noaa.gov/incident/1118

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.
