The potential for pollution is 500 tonnes of bunker and 60 tonnes of diesel fuel. The main cargo is containerized box cargo. FOSC Sector Juneau has requested a trajectory to determine if potential spill could impact U.S. waters, shorelines, or resources.

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.
