    1. At 1730 on February 6, 1986, the barge St. Thomas, in tow by the Todd W. Boudreaux, struck a submerged piling as it was entering port in Crown Bay, St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. Approximately 1,200 barrels of an intermediate fuel oil leaked through a four-foot long hole in the barge's no. 1 starboard tank, approximately 50 feet away from the bulkhead in crown Bay. The owners of the oil, Statis Terminals, immediately began deploying boom around the leaking barge. Later, a diver applied a temporary patch to the leaking barge. USCG district 7.
    2. COMMODITY: INTERMEDIATE FUEL OIL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 50400 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.
