F/V DAIKI  MARU 7 grounding; Apra Harbor, Guam.
Apra Harbor, Guam.
1. On February 13, 2014, the USCG Sector Guam notified the NOAA SSC that a Japanese long-liner, the DAIKI MARU 7, had grounded at 1725 local time at the entrance to Apra Harbor in Guam. The vessel has an estimated 5100 gallons of diesel aboard, as well as small amounts of lube oil and hydraulic fuel. Oil has reportedly been discharged, however the exact time and amount of release are unknown at this time. USCG Sector Guam, in support of DOD, requested information on the likely oil movement and trajectory. The grounding has potential to significantly impact corals. There are sea turtles in the area and the grounding location is adjacent to a sea turtle nesting beach at the base of Spanish Steps.
