1. The spill was reported as a result of a tug striking a well head. The sea-state is rough and a small release of a light condensate oil would easily be naturally dispersed under such conditions. It was reported later, that "an overflight indicated only sheens, and that they were heading out..."
2. THREAT: OIL. TAGS: COLLISION.
3. POSITION 29.104N 090.530W. NOAA INCIDENTNEWS 1144: https://incidentnews.noaa.gov/incident/1144

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.
