   1. On September 28, 2015, the NOAA Emergency Response Division was relayed a notification from the Canadian Coast Guard of a vessel sinking in Canadian waters of the Straits of Georgia. The 18 meter (60 foot) tug boat "Harken 10" sank in the middle of the Southern Straits of Georgia this morning in approximately 1000 feet of water west of Vancouver, BC. The crew were rescued. The vessel was reported to contain approximately 5100 gallons of diesel fuel, 160 gallons of lube and 160 gallons of hydraulic oil. Because of the proximity to the U.S. border, the US Coast Guard requested a trajectory analysis.
   2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: DIESEL.
