A ship in Thunder Bay’s port is in need of repair after a New Year’s Eve incident.
A large boom, used to load and unload cargo, on the ship Sagniaw collapsed onto a dock while the ship was moored at Thunder Bay Terminals.
Thunder Bay Port Authority CEO Tim Heney said this type of incident is a first.
“Fortunately there were no injuries and the ship is currently in a safe position,” Heney said.
Solutions are being worked on right now.
Thunder Bay does have facilities to fix the problem.
Heney said the boom will need to be removed before the ship can move, possibly to the ship yard for repair.
But that could take some time, he added.
