Thirteen days on from its grounding off Newfoundland, salvors are struggling to work out how to remove the MSC Baltic III from the icy, stormy shoreline near Lark Harbour.
With reports emerging of a hull breach, and the ship carrying 1,710 tonnes of heavy fuel oil, local media is reporting the authorities are looking at repairing an old road to access the remote site and give salvors another option to remove cargoes in a bid to get the wedged ship afloat.
The MSC Baltic III lost power outside the entrance of Bay of Islands, the crew issuing a mayday, with the 22-year-old ship running aground in Wild Cove west of Lark Harbour. The crew were successfully airlifted off the ship.
