Two fuel tankers collide off northern Newfoundland, minor damage reported
LEWISPORTE, N.L. — The Transportation Safety Board of Canada is investigating a collision between two coastal fuel tankers along Newfoundland’s north coast.
The board says the tanker Travestern collided with the anchored tanker Havelstern on Sunday, resulting in minor damage to both vessels.
Pierre Murray, the board’s manager of regional operations in Halifax, says no one was injured and nothing spilled from either ship.
The vessels, each about 150 metres long, were carrying diesel and jet fuel, he said.
