Canadian Coast Guard
The Canadian Coast Guard is assessing how best to refloat a containership that ran aground on Saturday morning off Newfoundland.
The MSC Baltic III lost power outside the entrance of Bay of Islands, the crew issuing a mayday, with the 22-year-old ship running aground in Wild Cove west of Lark Harbour. The crew were successfully airlifted off the ship.
With the crew rescued, the focus has shifted to assisting with the salvage effort, and marine environmental and hazards response.
Weather in the area continues to be a factor with the coast guard getting plenty of infrastructure in place to assist with the incident.
