   F/V Sound Leader Sunk; Offshore Newport, Or · North Pacific Ocean

   F/V Sound Leader sunk; Offshore Newport, OR.
   Offshore Newport, OR.
   1. At approximately 1200 PDT on 3 July, USCG Sector Columbia River contacted NOAA SSC regarding the F/V Sound Leader sunk offshore Newport, OR. The vessel sank around 0700 3 July. There was sheen observed at the site of sinking at 0730. There was a potential of 1000 gallons of diesel reported on board. USCG requested trajectory for worst case discharge. Although winds are forecasted to blow toward shore, given the moderately high winds and waves and that the sheen would likely be pushed to the SW and not directly W, no significant visible impact is expected on shore if a worst case discharge were to occur.
   2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: DIESEL, 75 GALLONS OF SOME OTHER OIL (LIKELY LUBE OIL). MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 1000 GALLONS.
   3. POSITION 44.667N 124.100W. NOAA INCIDENTNEWS 8472: https://incidentnews.noaa.gov/incident/8472
