JMIC Update 105 explicitly maps KITION M to Warning 168; its public copy is marked DRAFT. UKMTO separately confirms the notice and date. IMO records damage and limited pollution. Pollution quantity and material are not established. UKMTO says the vessel continued its voyage. This distinct notice was previously bundled in another tanker summary.
