Original warning text
F/V MAVERICK; 30 miles W. of La Push, WA. 30 miles W. of La Push, WA. 1. At about 0830 Pacific time Coast Guard Sector Puget Sound contacted NOAA SSC about a vessel collision. Between approximately 0530 and 0600 a vessel collision occurred in position 47 55.5 N, 125 19.6 W between the F/V MAVERICK and F/V VIKING STORM. The 40 foot F/V MAVERICK subsequently sunk. The F/V VIKING STORM is sound and is not a pollution threat. Visibility is limited due to fog. This location is 1.5 miles inside the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary. The sanctuary has been informed of the situation. Although the fuel potential is not confirmed, given the distance offshore that the collision occured, the current wind conditions, the forecasted wind conditions, and the reported size of the vessel it is not expected that any fuel would impact shore. NOAA is providing a weather forecast. 2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: DIESEL AND OTHER PRODUCT. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 530 GALLONS. TAGS: COLLISION. 3. POSITION 47.925N 125.327W.
