ST. JOHN’S – Furious fall weather is battering a massive cargo ship that ran aground off the west coast of Newfoundland earlier this year.
The Canadian Coast Guard says a crew found a number of damaged areas on the MSC Baltic III after a recent wind storm.
A ground team also found a tar ball on the shore, which is close to the town of Lark Harbour, N.L.
Mayor Wade Park says his biggest fear is the ship will be torn apart by the raging oceans, causing pollutants to spill out and harm the local fishing areas.
However, Park says officials have assured him that there is no longer any hazardous waste on board the vessel.
The 207-metre vessel ran aground in February. Texas-based T&T Salvage has since been tasked with devising a plan to get the ship off the rocks.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 13, 2025.
