Original warning text

MV Albermarle Is.; Staten Island, NY.
Staten Island, NY.
1. At approximately 1530 the container vessel Albemarle Island was departing the docks from Howlan Hook, Staten Island (on the Arthur Kill), NY. During the departure the vessel struck something that caused a four to five inch crack in the hull in the starboard quarter. The pilot reported seeing a sheen trailing the ship and turned the vessel around at the mouth of Newark Bay and returned to the dock. Upon arrival at the pier the ship began pumping oil out of the cracked tank and secured the leak. It was estimated that the ship leaked three to five gallons per minute for approximately 60 minutes (about 300 gallons). USCG district 1.
2. COMMODITY: #2 FUEL OIL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 300 GALLONS.
3. POSITION 40.535N 074.247W. NOAA INCIDENTNEWS 7527: https://incidentnews.noaa.gov/incident/7527
