Half Moon Bay, CA 94019, USA | 2017-Oct-25
Initial Notification: On 25-OCT-2017, the USCG Sector San Francisco contacted their NOAA SSC to request trajectory support for an "old" grounded tug boat in Half Moon Bay, CA. The 60-foot long Tug CALEB had been at anchor in Half Moon Bay but dragged anchor during recent heavy wave conditions. The USCG estimates there may be 3,000-5,000 gallons of mixed oily liquids on board. As USCG develops a plan to address the vessel, they have requested oil fate & transport support to assess the potential risks to local resources in the event that a spill occurs in the coming weeks.
