Original warning text
F/V IL SIN HO; Tinian Island, CNMI. Tinian Island, CNMI. 1. On September 13, 2013, USCG District 14 notified the SSC for the Pacific Islands that two 60-foot fishing vessels had grounded on Tinian Island. Both vessels grounded along the south shore of Kammer Reef, just south of Tinian’s Harbor. USCG Sector Guam, CNMI Department of Public Safety, and CNMI DEQ are responding. One vessel has already been safely refloated. The vessel remaining aground, the IL SIN HO, is reported to have an unspecified quantity of fuel and oily bilge water onboard. The responsible party has taken responsibility and is putting together a fuel removal and salvage plan for submission to USCG Sector Guam for review and approval. NOAA NMFS coral and restoration experts are engaged with the response and providing guidance to minimize damage to coral during salvage operations. 2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: DIESEL. TAGS: CORAL, GROUNDING. 3. POSITION 14.965N 145.624E. NOAA INCIDENTNEWS 8662: https://incidentnews.noaa.gov/incident/8662
