1. On the morning of August 13, 1991, while fishing the waters around the western Aleutians, the fishing vessel GREENHOPE became unstable due to its heavy catch. To compensate for this lack of stability, the skipper decided to dump fuel and proceeded to pump about 3,000 gallons of diesel over the side into the ocean. At the time the vessel was approximately 20 miles north of Atka Island. USCG district 17.
2. COMMODITY: DIESEL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 3000 GALLONS.
3. POSITION 52.468N 174.751W. NOAA INCIDENTNEWS 6826: https://incidentnews.noaa.gov/incident/6826

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.
