At approximately 2345 last night, while in tow with 2 empty barges, the M/V TEXIAN hit a dredge pipe breeching the bottom of the starboard fuel tank that was reported to hold 6500 gallons of diesel (a total of approximately 9000 gallons was reported on-board). The tug lost both barges in tow.

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.
