   M/V New Amity; Upper Galveston Bay.
   Upper Galveston Bay.
   1. On Saturday evening (22 Sept. 2001), the NOAA SSC was notified of a collision and oil spill in Upper Galveston Bay. The M/V New Amity, a tanker vessel, was holed and an estimated 138.5 cubic meters, or 36,600 gallons, of oil was released. The leaking vessel was directed into Barbers Cut Port Facility. NOAA was initially requested to provide weather and an oil trajectory as well as to begin to evaluate cleanup issues related to several oiled commercial vessels scheduled to leave the port facility. With respect to the latter, the use of surface washing agents as used in the Genmar Hector response was reviewed as an option to enhance cleanup. USCG district 8.
   2. COMMODITY: IFO 380. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 36600 GALLONS.
