Any word on the damage to the Atlantic Huron? I see her ais has been shut off already.

Saw the Huron can't see where there was damage, and with her being towed wonder if the engine failure that made her hit the bridge is the cause of layup destroyed engine?

It sounds like the Atlantic Huron will be going into an indefinite layup. I would not be surprised that CSL just had it towed to the nearest Canadian port pending a scrap sale.

Curious why it would need to be towed. We've seen damaged vessels before travel to the closest shipyard/port under their own power before.

Thanks Mr. Link as I later saw that after doing my evening AIS search.
