A new plan to free the Tim S. Dool, a large cargo ship that ran aground on a shoal along the St. Lawrence River near Morrisburg, Ont. on Saturday is expected to be finalized early next week.
Despite efforts, as of Friday evening, the vessel remains stuck.
"The vessel remains in a stable condition, with no signs of pollution and the ship is not taking on water," the Seaway management told CTV News Ottawa in a statement Saturday.
"Currently, salvage teams are in the planning stages for lightering operations to reduce the vessel's weight, which will facilitate subsequent refloating attempts.
"Further updates will follow as the situation progresses."
Three tugboats, the Ocean Intrepid, Ocean Taiga, and Ocean Tundra, arrived from Quebec City after a near two-day journey to assist with the jam.
