    Gulf of Alaska.
    1. U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Marine Safety Unit Valdez contacted the NOAA Scientific Support Coordinator (SSC) on 8/2/2025 regarding the partial sinking of a 110' tug boat, Sea Ranger, in the Gulf of Alaska, 175 miles SSE of Cordova, Alaska. The vessel has been repurposed as a pleasure craft and the crew/passengers have been successfully rescued. The vessel has approximately 2,500 gallons of diesel on board. USCG requested a report on the resources at risk. A fate and trajectory report may be requested once the location and vessel salvage efforts are confirmed.
    2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: DIESEL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 14000 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.
