1. Sunken barge releases calcium chloride into a freshwater environment. NOAA estimated the resulting threat to the environment was very low based on the dilution anticipated.
2. THREAT: CHEMICAL. COMMODITY: CALCIUM CHLORIDE.
3. POSITION 29.669N 091.236W. NOAA INCIDENTNEWS 1065: https://incidentnews.noaa.gov/incident/1065

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.
