To date, 184 cubic metres of fuel has been pumped into frac tanks onboard the ship and MSC plans to pump the fuel from the frac tanks onboard the ship to frac tanks onboard the barge for removal from the site.
The latest update from the Coast Guard dealing with the stranded MSC Baltic III in Cedar Cove is from April 4th. Canadian Coast Guard crews continue on-water and shoreline assessments of the MSC Baltic III site. No pollution has been observed at this time. Ongoing tank soundings have reduced the original estimate of heavy fuel and marine gas on the vessel from 1710 Metric Tons to 1600 Metric Tons. The heating and pumping of the fuel has started and will continue, as weather and sea conditions allow. To date, 184 cubic metres of fuel has been pumped into frac tanks onboard the ship and MSC plans to pump the fuel from the frac tanks onboard the ship to frac tanks onboard the barge for removal from the site. The fuel isn't being pumped from the vessel directly into the frac tanks on the barge because the heating and pumping of the fuel is a time-consuming process and requires the barge to be alongside the vessel for an extended period of time. This is challenging with the weather and sea conditions in the area.
