1. On January 20, 1987, an oil slick was sighted between the islands of Molokai and Lanai, Hawaii. The slick was reported to the Coast Guard Marine Safety Office (MSO), Honolulu. The Coast Guard confirmed the sightings and determined that the oil was coming from the barge Hana which was under tow by the tug Cochise. Investigation on the barge revealed that the aft hatch cover had been knocked off during heavy seas, spilling an unknown amount of Bunker C oil. USCG district 14.
2. COMMODITY: BUNKER C OIL.

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.
