    M/V Nyk Delphinus Fire; Offshore Monterey Bay, Ca · North Pacific Ocean
    M/V NYK DELPHINUS fire; Offshore Monterey Bay, CA.
    Offshore Monterey Bay, CA.
    1. On 14-MAY-2021, USCG Sector San Francisco contacted their NOAA SSC to report a shipboard fire on the M/V NYK DELPHINUS, approximately 60 miles west of Monterey Bay, CA. At the time, the vessel was without propulsion and drifting. Marine fire fighting activities were underway and USCG was focused on search & rescue operations. No pollution has been reported, but it is unclear if fire fighting activities on board the ship were successful. USCG later requested a hypothetical trajectory estimate for roughly 800,000 gallons of mixed fuels in the event the incident devolves.
    2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: MIXED FUELS. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 800000 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.
