   1. On May 23, 2015, the USCG notified the Alaska SSC about a spill in Cook Inlet, AK. The landing craft "Thors Hammer" was transiting from Seward to Bristol Bay with a 9000 gallon triple axel tanker on board. The vessel encountered rough seas and the tanker truck broke loose from its lashings and punctured the truck's diesel cargo tanks releasing approximately 4500 gallons of diesel onto the deck and into the water. The USCG requested fate and trajectory analysis for the spilled product.
   2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: DIESEL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 5000 GALLONS.
   3. POSITION 59.319N 151.999W. NOAA INCIDENTNEWS 8937: https://incidentnews.noaa.gov/incident/8937
