Bad weather off Canadian coast preventing efforts to board container ship after fire
The Peninsula
OTTAWA - Bad weather off Canada's Pacific Coast on Monday prevented a salvage crew from boarding a cargo ship where several containers of chemicals burned over the weekend, the coast guard said.
Sixteen crew members were evacuated from the MV Zim Kingston on Saturday. Five remained onboard to fight the fire, which was largely under control by late Sunday.
The company has appointed a salvage crew "but due to the current weather, (they) have been unable to board the container ship", the coast guard said on Twitter.
