   M/V Red Seagull; Offshore Texas.
   Offshore Texas.
   1. The M/V RED SEAGULL was maneuvering near the Amoco pipeline spill in the lightering zone off Galveston Texas when the crew reported "bubbling and sheening" along a portion of the hull. When the vessels position was plotted she was determined to be north of the Amoco pipeline rupture site and therefore responders believe that her hull may be breached. The vessel is currently anchored in position 28-43.3N and 94-37.9W. The vessels is carrying 1.5 million barrels of Arabian light and medium crude oil. No determination has yet been made as to whether or not the vessel is still leaking or how much product has been lost. The USCG Falcon Jet Aireye will survey the scene during the night. A dive survey is scheduled for first light to determine the extent of any damage. USCG district 8. Keyword: boom, Corexit 9500, dispersant, skimming.
   2. COMMODITY: ARABIAN CRUDE. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 10900 GALLONS.
