Original warning text
OSV Hos Deepwater; 5 mi south of Belle Pass, LA. 5 mi south of Belle Pass, LA. 1. On the morning of 20 December, the USCG notified the NOAA HAZMAT SSC of a collision between an offshore supply vessel (OSV) and an unmanned platform some five miles south of Belle Pass, Louisiana. The incident occurred before 7:00 AM. The OSV was carrying an estimated 12,000 gallons of marine diesel fuel. The estimated volume lost was 2000 gallons. NOAA was asked to assess the trajectory implications of this release. The SSC notified and consulted with the US Fish and Wildlife Service and NOAA's Damage Assessment and Restoration Program (DARP). In general, given the current wind and sea conditions, the spilled oil is no threat to shoreline resources and should dissipate rapidly through evaporation and natural dispersion. DARP's spill coordinator is assessing potential injury to the offshore marine environment. Unless the situation changes, this report ends NOAA HAZMAT's response [...] 2. COMMODITY: DIESEL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 2000 GALLONS. 3. POSITION 28.983N 090.217W. NOAA INCIDENTNEWS 7594: https://incidentnews.noaa.gov/incident/7594
