   M/V ZIM Atlantic; Savannah, Georgia.
   24P3+84 Tybee Island, GA, USA.
   1. U.S. Coast Guard Marine Safety Unit Savannah contacted the NOAA Scientific Support Coordinator (SSC) on May 8, 2026 to request any imagery that could help resolve an oil release from a vessel in transit from Norfolk, Virginia to Savannah, Georgia between April 23 and April 25, 2026. The M/V ZIM ATLANTIC arrived in Savannah on April 25, 2026 with a crack on the port side leading into one of its fuel tanks. The crack was discovered in port when a minimal sheen was observed. The case has concluded and the vessel has departed Savannah, but the Coast Guard was attempting to pinpoint exactly when the structural damage occurred. OR&R sought input from NOAA National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS).
   2. THREAT: OIL.
