Those materials included 1.7 million liters, or just over 10,000 barrels, of heavy fuel oil and diesel as propellant. Other cargo included fabrics, food products, metals and polymeric beads.<\/p>\n<p>The stranding occurred on Feb. 15 during bad weather in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, west of Lark Harbour, after the vessel reported a loss of power. The rescue operation was hampered by treacherous conditions at sea, and in its current condition the ship can\u2019t be refloated, the Coast Guard said Thursday.<\/p>\n<div class=\"copyright-notice quiet\">Copyright 2025 Bloomberg.<\/div>\n<p class=\"tagtag\"> <span class=\"tagtag\">Topics<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insurancejournal.com\/trucking\/\" class=\"btn btn-sm btn-primary tagtag\">Trucking<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insurancejournal.com\/location\/canada\/\" class=\"btn btn-sm btn-primary tagtag\">Canada<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-poll\" data-post=\"814144\">\n<div class=\"article-poll-vote\">\n<p>Was this article valuable?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-poll-feedback voted-no\">\n<form class=\"feedback-form\">\n<p>Thank you!
