How to read the oil spill monitor?

[moonman239]

Hello all,

I'm watching a live feed of the monitor that BP has set up. At the top it says "MSV SCANDI NEPTUNE" (I understand NEPTUNE is a name) and "E: 1202757.5" (fluctuates) and "D: 4985" and "Herc: 06" and "Hdg: 76.44." What does this all mean? Thanks.

Not sure about all of them, but "D" is depth, and "Hdg" is heading.
