1. At 1945 on July 27, 1994, a sheen caused by overfilling tanks was detected around the tank barge Jamaica Bay while docked at the foot of Delancy Street in Port Newark, New Jersey. The temperature was in the mid-70s and the sea was calm. The responsible party hired cleanup contractors to vacuum the oil out of the containment boom and the USCG monitored the recovery operations. The response lasted one day. USCG district 5. Keyword: containment boom, evaporation, sorbent boom, vacuum trucks.
2. COMMODITY: #2 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.
