The Coastguard’s Bruce English says there are no holes or damage above the water line but there are some breeches in the hull of the ship.
The Canadian Coast Guard and salvage removal experts are concerned about the 1.7 million litres of fuel onboard a grounded cargo ship near Lark Harbour. The vessel lost power and ran aground on February 15th and all crew were safely airlifted out by a cormorant helicopter. The Coastguard’s Bruce English says there are no holes or damage above the water line but there are some breeches in the hull of the ship. He says the focus now is the fuel onboard. English says the ship’s owner has hired a salvage company out of the U.S. and others to help. He says it’s the owner’s responsibility to pay for any damage to the environment. English says they have set up an Incident command post in Lark Harbour with officials from Transport Canada Marine Safety, Environment and Climate Change Canada, among others.
