MV Tim S. Dool Canadian Bulk Carrier Grounding and Recovery

The MV Tim S. Dool Canadian Bulk Carrier Grounding and Recovery was a significant maritime incident that occurred on a remote stretch of coastline. The ship ran aground on June 7, 1999.

The grounding occurred due to a combination of factors, including poor weather conditions and navigational errors. The vessel was carrying a cargo of coal.

The ship's crew responded quickly to the incident, and the vessel was refloated on June 10, 1999.

The MV Tim S. Dool has a rich service history that's worth exploring. It was launched in 1981 in Japan.

The ship was initially used for cargo transportation, specifically for carrying dry bulk cargo. Its first owner was a Japanese shipping company.

The MV Tim S. Dool has undergone several name changes throughout its service history. Its first name was Tai Hei Maru.

In 1996, the ship was sold to a company in the Philippines, where it continued to operate as a cargo vessel.

The salvage plan for the MV Tim S. Dool has been accepted by the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation.

A salvage plan was reviewed and accepted by officials on November 7th.

Lightering operations are expected to begin by the end of the week of December 9th.

A near two-day journey from Quebec City brought three tugs to assist with refloating the ship.

Despite efforts to move the ship, they fell short last week.

Fortunately, there have been no reported injuries or environmental damage.
