Bulk carrier ran aground
While carrying a cargo of grain, the "Algoma Guardian" ran aground on the St. Lawrence River west of Montreal on Oct 19, 2010. The ship began floating out of the main shipping channel toward the Quebec municipality of Saint-Zotique, east of the Quebec-Ontario border just after 1:30 p.m. The vessel has been towed away by tug boats, to clear the way for vessels picking up and transporting goods along the river. It was pulled to a nearby spot and anchored while divers conduct an investigation to determine the source of the problem. The freighter was traveling east along the river when it ran into trouble. It was not yet clear how long it will take before the ship is operational again. St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corp. and Transport Canada are investigating.

Bulkcarrier threatened to run aground due to engine trouble
The 'Algoma Guardian', enroute from Baie Comeau to Port Weller, had an unexpected stop at the Brockville Yacht Club on the morning of Dec 31. A blackout or engine shutdown was suspected to be behind the incident. The bulkcarrir stopped on the edge of the 10 meter- curve. The offshore tug 'Vincent Massey' (IMO: 9199622) was nearby; but no assistance was needed. The 'Algoma Guardian' backed up into the channel, drifted sideways a little then turned her bow eastward and continued its voyage. On Jan 1, 2026, the ship was moored in pos. 44° 38' N 075° 36' W.
