Small fire in Montreal

The "Umiavut" reported smoke in the engine room at the Racine Container Terminal in Montreal, Quebec, in position 45 33 33.5 N, 73 31 16.4 W, on March 26, 2019, at 2.50 a.m. The crew was evacuated on to the dock, and the local fire brigade boarded the vessel to extinguish the small fire of a diesel alternator accessories belt.

Cargo ship refloated

The second attempts to refloat the "Umiavut", grounded, on Lake St. Pierre since Aug 12 at 10.30 a.m, by three tugs was successful. The ship was docked at the port of Trois-Rivères after it was pulled off on Aug 16 shortly before 4 p.m. Before, about 100 tons of cargo had been taken off and ballast water was pumped out. A helicopter of the Canadian Coastguard monitored the salvage work. The cargo ship was inspected before proceeding to the port of Trois-Rivières, where it will undergo another inspection before heading to Valleyfield, after supplying Northern Quebec. The last stop was at Salluit. At the time of the accident, the ship had only empty containers on board. A rudder failure was thought to have caused the accident.
