   1. At 0110CST on 10APR12, USCG Sector New Orleans contacted NOAA SSC about a vessel releasing #6 fuel oil into the Mississippi River at mile marker 86.7. The incident began at about 2030CST on 09APR12. The vessel is moored and source is not secure. A ballast water overboard discharge pipe, that runs through a fuel tank, developed a hole and is pulling oil into the pipe and overboard by Venturi effect. Worse case possible discharge is the tank capacity of 3,500 bbls. USCG is requesting a trajectory.
