Original warning text
F/S EVER GRACE; VIRGINIA. VIRGINIA. 1. During a general inspection aboard the F/S EVER GRACE a mustardlike odor was noticed by the ship personnel in the area of the NO.1 hatch portside. The EVER GRACE is carrying 57,670 kgs. (127,139 lbs, 17882 gals) of Allyl Alcohol in three 20' containers, and the ship's agent reported a possible source as a 20 ton tank container. MSO Baltimore was notified of a possible leak at 1300 EST, Jan. 24. The vessel is currently 180 miles SW of Cape Henry. The vessel is headed for Baltimore from Houston with the cargo of Allyl Alcohol's ultimate destination to be France. SSC Gary Ott is on scene at MSO Hampton Roads. The initial evaluation by NOAA points out that although the material is poisonous, flammability is the higher risk problem (flash point is 70 degrees Farhenheit), and further evaluations should be conducted with the measure of flammability as a priority with the toxicity issue [...] 2. COMMODITY: ALLYL ALCOHOL. 3. POSITION 34.242N 076.748W. NOAA INCIDENTNEWS 6869: https://incidentnews.noaa.gov/incident/6869
