    RowanXL-1 rig/TV FR8 Pride; Port Aransas, TX channel.
Port Aransas, TX channel.
1. At around 1000CDT the NOAA SSC was contacted regarding a collision in the Port Aransas TX shipping channel between a 750' tanker vessel (TV FR8 Pride) and a jack-up rig Rowan XL-1 at 0700CDT on 2May2012. The only discharge at this time is an unknown but small amount of hydraulic fluid creating a small sheen. USCG has indicated that they do not expect a larger release, and no discharge is reported from the tanker. NOAA SSC is coordinating with Sector Corpus Christi, but no direct science support from NOAA has been requested at this time.
2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: HYDRAULIC FLUID AND CRUDE (POTENTIAL). TAGS: COLLISION.
3. POSITION 27.818N 097.008W. NOAA INCIDENTNEWS 8437: https://incidentnews.noaa.gov/incident/8437

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.
