TSB To investigate Lyubov Orlova tow Failure
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) is deploying a team of investigators to St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, to investigate an incident involving the tug boat Charlene Hunt and the cruise ship Lyubov Orlova, which broke free of its tow line while en route to the Dominican Republic and went adrift. The TSB will gather information and assess the occurrence.
Docking Zim Costsanza
CCGS Corporal Teather CV in Nova dock
Looks like a CG Vessel was docked at Halifax Shipyards today, however it was not the Louis St Laurent. The new Corporal Teather appears to be docking, presumably to address an issue identified on trials.
Update, The CCGS Louis St Laurent sailed at 1100. No destination is given
UPDATE 1500 : that was fast. shes out and trialing in the basin. Update 2200: Apparently this drydocking was to correct a Sonar issue
Louis St Laurentstill in the basin
the CCGS Louis St Laurent is still in the Basin. Given the delay in the Departure of Highlanders, it may take a couple of days to adjust the Blocks in the Nova Dock before she can be docked.
Shipfax however is reporting that she may be summoned to the St Lawrence river to assist with ice there.
Lyubov Orlova Under control
Huskey Energy is reporting that one of its boats has taken the Lyubov Orlova Under tow.
Huskey is the Operator of the Hiberina platform off Newfoundland, and contracted Atlantic Towing to provide platform support vessels.
As the Lyubov Orlova was adrift without crew, this would count as salvage, meaning Atlantic Towing could file a claim against the vessel to cover its costs for recovery. Given the vessel was sold for scrap, and is likely uninsured, it likely means it is now Atlantic Towings’ to scrap to recover thier costs.
Update via the Telegram
As of 4 p.m. today, the towed MV Lyubov Orlova was 100 kilometres north of Husky Energy’s SeaRose floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) platform, according to a spokeswoman for the operator.
An offshore supply vessel, the Atlantic Hawk, began towing the previously adrift vessel at 6:15 p.m. Wednesday. As of 10 a.m. Thursday, it was 70 kilometres north of the FPSO platform.
