Salvors attempting to lift a bunkering tanker that ran aground off the coast of Nova Scotia failed in the first attempt due to difficulties in removing ballast water. The weather in the region is expected to turn inclement, which will likely delay any further attempts.
The 1,317-dwt Arca 1 (built 1963) was en route from Montreal to Mexico when it ran aground on Cape Breton Island Sunday evening after the engine lost power.
