Also NOAA was asked to evaluate the photo ionization (PID) detection results performed by the RP. NOAA chemists and LSU contract chemists were given the cargo information to evaluate for hazards. USCG ordered the vessel to remain at anchor offshore until a plan was submitted to address offloading of the damaged containers, monitoring for toxic gas, and a contingency for dealing with any leaking or released product. NOAA Chemists reviewed the details of the plan prior to the vessel being allowed to enter port to verify correct monitoring [...]
