    Shortly after, the Canadian Coast Guard managed to get the ship under tow from the 2,500-dwt tug/supply vessel Atlantic Kingfisher, bound for Sydney, Nova Scotia.

    CCG environmental response specialists were in contact at that time with MSC to ensure they had a response plan in place in the event of pollution. No pollution has been reported from the incident.The ship left the Port of Halifax on March 5 headed for Montreal when it lost power in the Gulf of St Lawrence. MSC hired the Atlantic Kingfisher from Atlantic Towing to tow the containership to port.
