M/V Matsukaze; Whiskey Creek, Washington. Whiskey Creek, Washington. 1. At dawn this morning the tanker Matsukaze carrying Vegetable Oil, Tallow and Lube Oil became grounded at Crescent Bay. Two ballast tanks are known to be holed, but as yet nothing has been seen in the water. Dave Kennedy, the SSC, is in Alaska and is expected back in Seattle tomorrow. The vessel is hard aground, so salvage is expected to take at least a couple of days. MSO Seattle is en route to Crescent Bay (near Port Angeles) at this time. USCG district 13. 2. COMMODITY: VEGETABLE OIL, TALLOW, COTTONSEED OIL, LUBE OIL. 3. POSITION 48.169N 123.712W. NOAA INCIDENTNEWS 6571: https://incidentnews.noaa.gov/incident/6571
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.
