TUVAQ 7421966
By Sep 13, 2010, works are underway to refloat the grounded tank m/v "Nanny" (IMO: 9051399) in the Simpson Strait, about 50 kilometres southwest of Gjoa Haven, Nunavut. The tanker was originally carrying 9500 tons diesel for Nunavut's remote communities. The "Tuvaq" which was contracted as lighter tanker arrived in the Gjoa Haven area on Sep 12 and began pumping fuel from the "Nanny" on Sep 13. For this purpose a hose has been connected between both tankers and up to 5000 tons diesel will be siphoned off the "Nanny" until the tanker has become light enough to float off the sandbar. The government officials estimate that removing at least 2500 tons of diesel will float the tanker. Inspectors from both the Canadian Coast Guard and Transport Canada are monitoring the operation.

The "Tuvaq" is going to siphon the grounded tank m/v "Nanny" which is stuck in the Northwest Passage since sep 1, 2010. It has departed Iqaluit, will go past the "Nanny" and travel another 370 kilometres to the community of Cambridge Bay by Sep 9 morning. The "Tuvaq" will deliver about 7000 tons diesel in Cambridge Bay, then double back to the "Nanny" and start lightering up to 5000 tons starting between Sep 11 and 13. The Canadian Coast Guard, which is monitoring the "Nanny", confirmed overhead flights have confirmed that no diesel has leaked. A Transport Canada official visited the MV Nanny over the weekend and verified the company's claims about the condition of the vessel and the fuel on board. After the salvage both the "Nanny" and the "Tuvaq" will continue delivering diesel to the western Nunavut communities of Taloyoak — the Nanny's intended destination — and Kugluktuk.
