The Canadian Coast Guard’s Bruce English has been overseeing the situation since it started and says most fuel and containers have been safely removed.
The MSC Baltic III has been grounded in an area of Lark Harbour since February 15th of last year, and yesterday, this Bayfm reporter got a chance to get a close look at the vessel and the damage it has sustained over the past year. The Canadian Coast Guard’s Bruce English has been overseeing the situation since it started and says most fuel and containers have been safely removed. He says there are concerns about some fuel left in containers and the vessel is buckling in the starboard and broken in the port side. English says it’s been one storm after the other since November bringing high waves and seas, hampering the work of the salvage team. A tender is out for the removal of the vessel and English says the successful bidder should be announced within the next couple of weeks. He says the vessel will have to be removed by land or sea, or a combination of both.
