The vessel veered out of the channel early on December 24 and has remained stuck with Coast Guard officials saying the recovery was being slowed by the Christmas holiday.<\/p>\n<p>The Canadian Coast Guard <a href=\"https:\/\/maritime-executive.com\/article\/bulker-expected-to-be-stuck-for-days-after-grounding-in-st-lawrence\" target=\"_blank\">reported Tuesday<\/a> that the 607 feet (185 meters) in length vessel is &ldquo;sideways outside the navigation channel.&rdquo; It is not obstructing traffic on the river.<\/p>\n<p>The reports said there were no injuries, no damage to the ship&rsquo;s hull, and no pollution spotted in the water from the grounding which may have been caused by a blackout shortly after the vessel left the dock in Montreal. Conditions, however, had grown harsh as winter weather spread over the region.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities sent generators, heaters, and supplies to the 20 crew members aboard.<\/p>\n<p>The Canadian Coast Guard reported the refloating effort would begin at approximately 11:00 a.m. local time on Friday, December 27. They were planning to put drones overhead and possibly a helicopter they told the Canadian Press to monitor the efforts.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/montreal.ctvnews.ca\/video\/c3053607-ship-stuck-aground-in-quebec?__vfz=medium%3Dsharebar\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/media\/images\/article\/Photos\/Wreckage_Salvage\/Moccoa-video.jpg\" style=\"width:599px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Three tugs, <em>Ocean Serge Genois<\/em>, <em>Ocean Charlie<\/em>, and <em>Ocean A.

As of the end of the day, the vessel&rsquo;s AIS signal reports it is still aground. The Coast Guard has not yet commented on the possible next steps.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Maccoa <\/em>was bound for Ireland and from the pictures appears to be sitting about its waterline. There are no reports if any cargo is aboard.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the month another Laker bulker was stuck further south on the river below Montreal. Initial efforts to refloat the <em>Tim S Dool<\/em> were also unsuccessful. They had to bring in a crane and barges to partially offload the vessel before they were able to free it.<\/p>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/>News source: http:\/\/maritime-executive.com <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maritime-executive.com\/article\/video-tugs-fail-to-free-bulker-grounded-in-the-st-lawrence?rand=17996\">Go to original post<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; A first effort was undertaken today in an attempt to pull the bulker Maccoa (30,898 dwt) free from its position north of Montreal.
