On June 20th, 2017, the USCG Sector New Orleans contacted the NOAA RRO to request trajectory information for a barge that broke free from its mooring at the facility located in Main Pass, Louisiana. There is no concern for discharge from the barge, but it may be a hazard to vessels and platforms in the area.

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.
