Original warning text

ITV Glenna M sinking in Mississippi River; Vicksburg, Virginia.
Mississippi River Vicksburg, USA.
1. U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Sector Lower Mississippi contacted the NOAA Scientific Support Coordinator (SSC) at 0915 on January 1, 2026 regrading a sunken ITV (inspected towing vessel) in the vicinity of Mile Marker 457 of the Mississippi River. The vessel contains 4,200 gallons of diesel and 100-200 gallons of gear and lube oils. The vessel reportedly sank in 60 feet of water with no observed oil discharges. An OSRO (oil spill response organization) is on scene to conduct containment and recovery operations as needed. The USCG requested from NOAA information on water intakes and sensitive environments downstream of the area. The NOAA SSC provided an ERMA (Environmental Response Management Application) query and an IPaC (Information for Planning and Consultation) report. Further assistance with assessment of salvage operations and/or emergency consultation may be needed.
