A Hapag-Lloyd containership became the latest to catch a fine for breaking speed limits aimed at reducing whale strikes, Transport Canada said.
The fine comes as the temporary speed restrictions in Canadian waterways are now ended.
The 2,808-teu Mississauga Express (built 1998) was hit with a penalty of CAD 6,000 ($4,830) for alleged non-compliance with the temporary speed restriction.
Vessels of 20 metres or more length overall were restricted to a maximum speed of 10 knots in the western Gulf of the St Lawrence.
