Twenty marine shipping containers and “assorted freight” fell off a sealift barge and into Frobisher Bay near the Iqaluit port, reports CBC.
In a statement, the government warned boaters in Iqaluit and Apex about the floating freight and sea cans, urging boaters to “be aware of the hazard.”
Photos posted to social media around 5 p.m. ET on Friday showed sea cans scattered around a ship near Iqaluit’s port. Coast Guard is trying to locate the freight, the statement reads. It also said the sea cans appeared to be floating toward Apex.
The government did not provide any other details about the incident.
