Tanker Vessel Maersk Nautilus, 1, 092 ft. length, fully laden with 2,150,000 bbls crude
Complete loss of power and adrift.
Location at 1600 hrs: 27 deg, 53 min N, 88 deg, 36 min W (~38 mi ESE of Mars)
Drifting to the NNE
Two (2) Harvey tugs enroute – ETA to rig ~ 0200 (Tue), USCG seeking additional resources

With last reported location and movement, poses no threat to Shell assets at this time.

Will provide update on location and movement when received from USCG.

Following is a preliminary trajectory – heading towards Thunderhorse at 1-2 knots.

They say Thunderhorse's moon pool would swallow most platforms in the GOM.

Them things are designed for that. kinda work. They have waterproof doors that are dogged off pretty good. Just gotta hang on if you walk from one spot to another.

Most conventional fixed leg platforms.

I've worked on thunderhorse for a week last year and I promise you it's huge. The galley has about 15-20 tables for 6-8 people each. In a week I bet I only saw half of it.
