Womens Bay, Kodiak, AK.
1. On September 8, 2014, the NOAA vessel RAINIER was tied up at the USCG base in Kodiak, AK, when an oil sheen was noticed in the harbor area at the USCG facility. On September 9 the spill was attributed to the RAINIER. The discharge is still being investigated but a breach internal to the vessel allowed diesel fuel to contaminate a grey water holding tank.
2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: DIESEL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 400 GALLONS.
3. POSITION 57.700N 152.570W. NOAA INCIDENTNEWS 8812: https://incidentnews.noaa.gov/incident/8812

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.
