The tug carried 60000 gallons of diesel, and the cargo on the nearest its barges included a hazardous material - 1,1,1 trichloroethane aka methyl chloroform. The USCG requested weather, evacuation boundaries, PPE, and the impacts downstream. NOAA HAZMAT provided this information along with CAMEO chemical information. Tug recovered and was moved for repairs.

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.
