1. At 1800 on December 26, 1991, the tank barge Maine overflowed while loading #6 oil at the Hess Bayonne Terminal. The barge had been boomed during transfer operations. The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Captain of the Port New York (COTPNY) dispatched a Pollution Response Team to evaluate the situation. Approximately 200 gallons of #6 oil were seen in the water and 1,000 gallons on deck. Cleanup contractors were on scene manually removing the oil from the water. USCG district 1. Keyword: none.
2. COMMODITY: #6 OIL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 1200 GALLONS.

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.
