The self-discharger was reportedly en route to Quebec City with a cargo of iron ore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The coast guard added that there was some water intake on the 35,400 dwt vessel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, no injuries and no pollution have been reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The seaway was closed for night navigation as the relevant authorities were conducting a further evaluation. On October 7, nearby vessels were again allowed to transit the seaway past the grounded bulker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although no details on the salvage plan have been shared, NNY 360 news website reported that tugs were on their way to refloat the ship on October 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of October 10, Rt. Hon. Paul J. Martin is still aground in the St. Lawrence River, according to the ship\u2019s AIS data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Built in 1973, the bulker is owned by Canadian Steamship Lines (CSL) Group, the information provided by VesselsValue shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
