   1. At approximately 1800 on January 16, 1986, the 90-foot vessel Ulla Karin, carrying 500-1000 gallons of diesel fuel, grounded on a sand bottom between several coral reefs in Bahia Las Cabezas, near Cabo San Juan, Puerto Rico. The vessel was apparently intentionally grounded by its captain because the engine room was flooding. The U.S. Coast Guard observed approximately three feet of water in the engine room and main storage compartment. The vessel master and a crew member went ashore at 2000 and reported the vessel situation to the Fajardo Marine Police, who notified the U.S. Coast Guard. USCG district 7.
   2. COMMODITY: DIESEL FUEL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 1000 GALLONS.
