    FV Icy Mist; Akutan Isl., Eastern Aleutians, Alaska.
    Akutan Isl., Eastern Aleutians, Alaska.
    1. Early morning of Wed., Feb. 25, Sector Anchorage received word that the 58' FV Icy Mist was taking on water north of Akutan Island with 4 POB along with 2700 gallons of diesel, 150 gallons of hydraulic oil, 200 gallons of lube oil, and 60,000 lbs of Pacific Cod. Conditions were horrific with sustained winds of 60 to 70 kts and gusts approaching 100 kts. Vessel was intentionally beached on a rocky shoreline shadowed by a high vertical cliff face. The 4 POB were rescued by Coast Guard helo, and the status of the fuel onboard is unknown at this time.Initially, from an overflight, no pollution was reported, and the vessel appeared to be in good condition. However on up close examination, the bottom of the vessel was found to be badly damaged causing a release of all the diesel and all the hydralic oil. The 200 gallons of lube oil was removed. NOAA SSC provided weather forecast support [...]
    2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: DIESEL AND LUBE OIL AND HYDRAULIC OIL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 3050 GALLONS. TAGS: GROUNDING.

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.
