Self discharger damaged in grounding
While travelling through the Welland Canal, the "Algoma Navigator" was damaged in the morning of Sep 26, 2014, after striking one of the banks in Port Robinson. The bulkcarrier made contact just past 7 a.m. The ship continued south and tied up at Wharf 12, north of Lock 8 in Port Colborne where the vessel was tied up for inspection. St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corp. officials were on scene at 1 p.m., as were employees of Algoma Ship Repair, formerly Fraser Marine, of Port Colborne. Both the seaway officials and Algoma employees were seen looking down the port side of the ship. At the time of the incident, the area was under dense fog. There was no visible damage to the ship, but there were unconfirmed reports that the vessel started taking on water. Report with photo: http://eriemedia.ca/ship-damaged-in-heavy-fog/
Medevac of Sault Ste. Marie
The Coast Guard medevaced an ailing Canadian crew member of the "Algoma Navigator" on Apr 8, 2013, in the morning in the vicinity of Sault Ste. Marie. At around 11:45 p.m. an SAR coordinator at Coast Guard Sector Sault Ste. Marie, received a request for a medical evacuation. He conferred with the 9th Coast Guard District's duty flight surgeon, who concurred with the need for a medevac. Rescue crews from Coast Guard Station Sault Ste. Marie, Air Station Traverse City, MI, and the Coast Guard Cutter Katmai Bay were notified of the request for assistance. The CG cutter "Katmai Bay", a 140-foot icebreaking tug homeported in Sault Ste. Marie, was the only asset capable of responding due to weather and river conditions along the southern St. Marys River. At around 2:30 a.m. on Apr 9, the "Katmai Bay" embarked the ailing man aboard the cutter, who was lowered in a rescue litter from the service hoist onboard the "Algoma Navigator". The "Katmai Bay" then transported him to the De Tour Coal docks where emergency medical services were awaiting. At 3:30 a.m., he was transferred to the awaiting EMS personnel, who brought him to War Memorial Hospital in Sault Ste. Marie. The man was listed in stable condition. The Coast Guard notified U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers of the situation to ensure interagency coordination.
