Date: 22nd January 2016

The reports state that the vessel faced rudder problems and drifted off course.  Since the vessel could not refloat on its own power, the Canada’s Transportation Safety Board dispatched a crew to the spot.

Fortunately, the vessel did not suffer any breach on its hull.  There were no reports of pollution or casualties and the incident was not a hindrance to the traffic.
