There is still an on-going risk that pollution could enter the marine environment.
Containers with dangerous goods, specifically polymeric beads, have been removed safely from a stranded cargo ship near Wild Cove.
The ship lost power on February 15th and ran aground in an area known as Cedar Cove. Land and on-water assessments of the MSC Baltic III continue with no pollution observed at this time. However, there is still an on-going risk that pollution could enter the marine environment. Regular monitoring will continue until this incident is fully resolved.
The salvage company continues equipment preparations for oil heating and transfer operations. The tug and barge, contracted by MSC, were able to go alongside the vessel to load some frac tanks and a containment boom onboard. The frac tanks will be used to store and offload the fuel.
More updates will be provided as they are available and as the situation evolves.
