1. The fishing vessel Sea Farer sank at Eathan Fishing Dock, New Bedford, Massachusetts in the early hours of July 16, 1999.. She carried an estimated 6000 gallons of diesel fuel. The owners contracted with divers to plug the vents and secure the source. The immediate area was boomed. On-scene USCG personnel estimated 500 gallons of fuel in the water around the pier. By mid morning, it was suspected that the vent plugs had come free and that more oil was coming from the vessel. USCG district 1. Keyword: boom, sorbent.
2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: DIESEL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 500 GALLONS.

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.
