Original warning text
Hollywood Barge; Gulf of Mexico. Gulf of Mexico. 1. During the night of 25 January 2000, the NOAA SSC was notified by MSU Galveston of a oil spill in the Colorado River near the ICW (approximately 28? 41.5 N Long. and 95? 57.0 W Lat.). A barge carrying 21000 bbl of Fuel Oil #6 struck a mooring buoy. The impact holed the #1 hold, but the buoy stuck in the void space reducing oil loss. An estimated 15 bbl has been loss. The hold capacity is 2000 bbl. The barge, a double hulled vessel is owned by Hollywood Marine. A boom has been placed around the vessel and canvas patched into the hole to reduce further release. Plans are to lighter the vessel. USCG district 8. 2. COMMODITY: FUEL OIL #6. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 630 GALLONS. 3. POSITION 28.692N 090.950W.
