MSC Baltic III wreck removal reaches 84%

Salvage teams have removed approximately 84% of the MSC Baltic III wreck from Cedar Cove in Newfoundland and Labrador, according to the Canadian Coast Guard.

Resolve Marine has removed 9,282 tonnes from the grounded container vessel as dismantling work enters its final stages.

The vessel’s bow section has been brought fully ashore, dismantled and removed from the beach. This phase included the removal of six priority heavy fuel oil tanks.

Intermittent oil sheening continues to be observed in Cedar Cove. However, the Canadian Coast Guard said the sheening has decreased significantly since the bow section was removed from the water.
